Illuminate Naturally in Darkness (2017)
Judith Stenneken uses images of the journey, the voyager and transitory spaces (like hotel rooms) as metaphors to describe transition as the sole constant in life, and in-betweenness as the only state of being. The concepts of departure and arrival dissolve as the traveler keeps moving - a gravity towards constant change. The voyager's home becomes the hotel room and the airplane. Spaces to pause, never to dwell.

"Sailing along the edges of a nomadic, modern life, Stenneken photographs as gracefully in the intervals, the moments of pause and reflection, as she does in motion during the free-fall and chaos of life in the 21st century. This book is photographic literature of the here and now."
