Moments of Being

“What would such an inexperienced soul do without the solution that a body had been.”  

– Clarice Lispector

Snapshots of the life within.

Echoes of thought and feelings expressed in the only terms I really understand,

which are those of light and shadow and the softening of edges.

The things expressed have already happened. Here they are remembered tenderly,

in the repose of passion.  

 – Josephine Sacabo

Josephine Sacabo divides her time between New Orleans and Mexico—both places inform her work, resulting in imagery that is as startling and surreal as the places she calls home. Using alternative and traditional techniques, her photography has been featured in gallery and museum exhibitions in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. Sacabo has been the recipient of multiple awards and is included in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House, the International Center of Photography, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and la Bibliothéque Nationale, Paris, France.
