Brandt sees his work as both photograph and ‘art object’. “In my photographs it is interesting to reflect on photography’s inherent nature of passing moments with a fragile and fleeting/transient printing material or method. No matter how hard people try to prevent a photograph/moment from fading, it always will – no matter how fancy the UV resistant glass is. It’s nice to think about how light creates and degrades a photographs. Because of the nature of my printing methods, it is often impossible to make duplicates, and for me, this contradictory space within the mechanical connotations of photography is an interesting place to be.”
