Images out of Darkness

Regarded as one of the most influential figures of avant-garde cinema, Jonas Mekas was interested in his works in the essence of the present time and place, though they also give weight to history and memory. He transformed little fragments of everyday reality, with very little to no interventions or editing, into a mixture of personal experience, documentary, and narration.
Mekas’ series of photographs entitled “Images out of Darkness” are taken somewhere between arrival and departure. The photographs show the artist, his brother, and their friends doing everyday activities while waiting to be transported to the next camp.
