The photo book Noonday can be regarded as a sequel to Annelies Strba's Shades of Time, published almost twenty years ago by Lars Mu?ller Publishers. The photographs show intimate moments in the life of the artist's family, everyday situations and seemingly insignificant moments captured on film. They confront the viewer with the human urge to remember and inability to forget as they evoke in his mind's eye similar images and memories from his own past. While Shades of Time focused on Strba's own children, Noonday shows photographs of her grandchildren. The images display the children sleeping, in the forest or other places and thus preserve graceful moments of life. With a subjective and yet documentary gaze, Strba halts the passing of time, oscillating between closeness and distance, relishing the moment recorded while cognizant of its ineluctable transience.
