Gallery: Dissociation New Series

As If A Heavy Black Cloud Had Settled All Over Her

Thinks He is in the Wrong Place

Feels as if He Had To Breathe Through a Sponge

Music Makes Her Weep

Desires To Be Let Alone

Afraid of Sharp, Pointed Things, Pins, Needles Etc.

Lingering Feeling That Something was Wrong

Cannot Concentrate the Mind to Read or Study

Time Seems Too Long

Can’t Remember if She Had Locked the Door

Constantly Theorising

As If The Words Might Make No Sense To Others

Imagines That There Are Two Babies In The Bed

Feels As Though He Has Two Wills, One Commanding Him To Do What The Other Forbids

Eight Introductory Spells (detail)

Eight Introductory Spells

His Sufferings Seem Unbearable

Will Datson: Dissociation New Series

These images are a later variation on the Dissociation Series I made in the 1990s which used antique portraits. I wondered what I could do if I photographed my own portraits and worked from those. It is an occasional experiment, the first date from the early 2000s with more added recently.
