Edition 2/5

Part of the decade-spanning Immortal series, “230120171709.2017” embodies Geray Mena’s exploration of photography as both a document and a constructed artifact. The work captures a suspended moment—poised between the ephemeral and the eternal—inviting viewers to question the limits of representation. The image’s ambiguity suggests an event that has just unfolded or is about to occur, holding space for projection, memory, and longing.

Mena’s handcrafted frame, imprinted with fingerprint-like textures, adds a visceral dimension to the piece. It transforms the photograph into a tactile object, a physical trace of human presence and labor. This interplay between image and object reflects on photography’s paradoxical attempt to arrest time while acknowledging its own transience. As with much of the Immortal series, the photograph exists not as a mere image but as a layered meditation on permanence, loss, and the role of memory in shaping our understanding of reality.
