MoonFace is a visitation into a collapsing mind, a negotiation with a memory thief, a quest into abstraction where we may find ourselves, our thoughts and our history. The images shared by Christian Letts allow for individual reflection: however this wordless novel presents itself to each viewer, the series of monochromatic images unites their experiences through the reduction of the colour palette, the stillness of thought and the curiosity of what lies within. The book questions the linear function of memory and explores its maze with new, brighter eyes; memory and its construction are themes Letts often explores. With this project he has an agenda: illumination from the dark, sound from silence and love from loss, and this newest chapter closes the last. The pictures show hooded and masked figures, a conductor with a moon for a head and a figure in a spotlight on a lunar surface.
