Day By Day

One chair, two lights, a tripod and a camera in the same corner of the house for three years. After waking each morning and breathing in the day, artists Ori Gersht and Tracey Ferguson would embark on their daily ritual: to take a single portrait of each other. From this formal and isolating composition a moving and empathetic all-visual chronicle of their relationship emerged documenting the last years of their emotional journey together. Day by Day presents the reality of the highly emotive and personal struggle to keep the relationship alive. Each image captures something different: each pair of eyes conveying something too powerful to write. A flicker of doubt; an erupting fear; a stare of resolve, all bound together by a sheer determination to love. This daily ceremonial love project shows their wish to come to terms with the march of time. Form the epilogue “In retrospect, these images were our swan song, our final celebration, our last attempt to resist the inevitable. At the time we were unable to admit or verbalise what we must have already known deep inside. This photographic journey provided us with our last hopes, an attempt to preserve what was already gone”
