Drawing upon the Dutch and Flemish still-life tradition of the seventeenth century, Laura Letinsky’s series Hardly More Than Ever presents tables, kitchens, and domestic spaces after the bounty has been consumed. The artist used slow film speeds and long exposures to soften lines and deepen shadows; the resulting photographs linger on the subtle and unsettling beauty of the traces and scraps that remain. Letinsky’s photographs—showing rumpled and stained tablecloths littered with crumbs, dirty dishes, rotting fruit, and wilting flowers—serve as a jarring reminder of the disparity between the realities of daily existence and the domestic ideal as depicted in commercialized images of household perfection.
