In Hillary Mushkin's recent series, T. at Night, one finds a number of staged photographic ink-jet prints, each depicting a woman alone in various interior and exterior locales. The imagery suggests more of a surveillance camera than a photographer's lens, and can be taken nearly as a direct response to a culture which has naturalized the act of looking at women. The images read as both documents and performances, blending fact with fiction. Seemingly candid, these images are reminiscent of film noir and slasher films, and become excerpts from an elusive narrative.
