Interim Portrait #388; and Interim Portrait #522
Two chromogenic prints by Bill Jacobson from his celebrated *Interim Portraits* series capture the human figure in a state of ethereal dissolution, with softly blurred and hazy forms emerging from and receding into an enveloping darkness. The out-of-focus imagery evokes themes of impermanence, memory, and vulnerability, reflecting the emotional climate of the AIDS crisis during which the series was created in the early 1990s. Together, the paired photographs create a quiet yet poignant meditation on presence and loss, identity and fragility.
