More information
Sandhini Poddar wrote about Krisár's series “Janus”:
Krisár's practice can perhaps be summarized as a lifelong exploration of the meaning of death, but not without its corollary - life. His 2006 chromogenic photographs, Janus as well as the iconic portrait Mist Mother (2006), involve images of the body in various stages of becoming: invisibility and visibility; mist and body. The obliteration of the body through long exposure time functions symbolically, along with the corresponding erasure of culture, history and memory, as exemplified in the abandoned home environment of these images. Krisár photographed the Janus series in an apartment belonging to a doctor in Stockholm, complete with peeling paint and traces of previous paintings, a testament to the sixty years since birth the doctor spent there. “You can feel his life in the walls,” Krisár says, ‘just as you can feel it in Sonja's clothes.’[1] Janus, the Roman god of the past and the future, and thus the god of time, stands on the threshold between two rooms, leaving us to decide which way he will go.
