Above: Alex & Rodger, Rodger & Alex, 1970/2005 by Michael Morris, gelatin silver print series.
I went to the belkin gallery in UBC vancouver , theres a solo show by michale morris concentrating on his painting/concrete poetry works. This piece above stood out for me. its a series of photos lined horrizontally, with an image of a naked man shining a light upon a naked man (they both look identical), the light moves around the rock behind him, on his arms, legs and face..washing him in this white light. (Note: the white circle above is from the camera flash).

He also made a piece in the show called 'light on, 1970/1971, film transferred to video, 3.54 mins' in which there is moving image of this particular event.

Below: observations
