A decisive moment appears as an instant of

equilibrium, a resolution of the underlying

social and political realities.  The recognition of

the significance of an event as well as of a

precise organization of forms which give that

event its proper expression.

The decisive moments depicted here are from

significant historical events. The larger black

and white image is of the absence of the events

depicted in the film strips.  These images

attempt to question how a single photograph

can capture such a moment and how a mundane

space can suddenly be transformed into

something significant.
