The use of long exposure on 4x5 inch film instead of instant shooting allowed me to photograph in the dark, obtaining longer exposure times and reflecting on the deeper meaning of being in front of a camera. I asked pairs of individuals, in a delegation of authority, to pose sitting next to each other in a shared space and wait in the dark so that any tension, feelings or posture, perhaps even their personal identity, could be abandoned. Then I exposed the photographic plate for one minute. Like father, like son, as they say.
