Freeze 24 09 20 Amirah: Adara And Sam Bourne Fre Full
Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s concept of "the contemporary" as one who sees the darkness of their own time, we argue that Adara and Bourne’s freezes create a rupture in the homogeneous flow of streaming time.

The image, later revealed to be a family photograph of Adara’s late grandmother, became a shared memorial. This case illustrates how the freeze can function as an act of preservation against digital forgetting. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s concept of "the contemporary"
