ProlongancePhotography by Eric Laverty |
I’ve transformed my photography into an unfolding process, a performance that engages my body as both an instrument and a subject in collaboration with environment and camera. Each image emerges as a durational event, where traces of movement, intention, and interaction converge to reveal the ephemeral that always accompanies us, yet remains beyond perception.

Crossing 42nd Street |
"40 Deuce Street, the weaver of magic. Sometimes beauty, sometimes tragic. Where glamour and illusion are the welcome committee. Where overindulgence becomes self-pity. Where pleasure becomes the absence of time, while dignity goes begging and confusion becomes rhyme..." - Umar Bin Hassan, Be Bop or Be DeadCapturing the pulse of the street where shadows stretch and fragment, where each step reveals layers of tension and harmony. The city street is a stage of fleeting encounters, where time slips by and the mundane transforms into moments of unexpected poetry. |
Straightening the Staircase |
Navigating the Rubin Museum's spiral staircase in New York City, Straightening the Staircase transforms its curvature into a linear rendering, warping and flattening the architectural experience. It echoes themes throughout Prologance where experiments with the capture of movement redefine the familiar and disrupt traditional spatial narratives. |
Walking the Line |
A reflection on Richard Long's seminal piece 'A Line Made by Walking' where he used walking as a medium, creating traces of corporeal presence and bodily action. Also thinking about Johnny Cash. |
