| Sumario: | British artist Idris Khan (Birmingham, 1978) has recently gained international acclaim by making artworks that evoke and dissolve ideas of time, memory and experience. Employing photography, painting, sculpture or moving image, and by prolonged processes of both accumulation and erasure, Khan experiments with temporal condensation and the notion of remembrance. This text examines a selection of his works from 2001 to the present. The impulse of making photographs long surpasses our ability –or time, or will– to reminisce in captured memories. This article analyses the implications and dynamics of this visual saturation through Khan’s recent work, placing it in relation to the ideas of authors and thinkers who address this growing problem. |
