past imperfect pt. i
2010

The series Past Imperfect pt. 1  implements photographs of unknown origin–found discarded in a box on the street–in a succession of assemblages exploring the construction of identity, the nebulous relationships between memory, narrative, and time, and the act of seeking meaning (and one's self) in the archival.

​

Whether the subjects depicted are celebrated or exploited in their use, they've been placed in a precarious position in service of memory as metaphor; perched between preservation and fictionalization, archive and allegory, lost and found.
