In this 100-image work, Bark creates a "narrative" in which he changes into all the shirts in his wardrobe one by one; at regular intervals, the shutter is released during a blur of quick change. Like Charles Ray in his 1973 photo-piece, "All My Clothes," Bark uses his own body as subject and object. But whereas Ray's piece is programmatic and deadpan, Bark's piece is more Romantic and fevered--a continual molting and shedding of selves under the regularly blinking eye of the camera.
