Meg Roussos
"Pseudo Night" explores the representation and sublimation of walking through a landscape. Roussos' night trail images are a constructed reflection of her experience with long distance hiking. Roussos photographs trails in a way to reflect the suspended meditative moment in time that happens during her long walks. This effect is meant to mimic the night, although she photographs during the day. This practice references old western films that used to produce night scenes during the day. Playing with traditional troupes in imagery, such as the Rückengur figure or presence through absence, these images both invite and caution one to the edge of the woods.
