Western philosophy has always privileged the visible, relying on Light to reveal certainty and truth over Darkness, doubt, and the unknown. The photographic image — built of Light — accesses this privilege and is considered truthful but moreover, its technology allows for recording transience, intangibility, and the liminal. The open-minded photographer can deploy the metaphorical force of Darkness to explore feelings and uncertainties.
A starting point for these photographers was to study the cast shadow of the human which has gained a burden of metaphor through its intimate relationship with Light and Dark.

More than 70 artists from around the world have come together to investigate the creative processes unleashed when the act of making a photograph of the self is approached as performance. Responses to a Call for Artists identified practitioners of the self-portrait, researchers of identity, durational performance artists, and many more who resisted any such tight categorisation. All valid responses were enrolled in a months' long on-line discussion site — this small book is a fractional record of their many valuable interchanges.
