Separate states
Separate states
This piece separates various parts of a series of readymade archival image descriptions and relocates them into new, categorised spaces. With separation and relocation, the narrative of events apparent in the descriptions and in the album of photographs they define is de-emphasised (although the narrative can, in part, be re-built, due to archival systems of enumeration). The rules, conventions, tropes and repetitions of description writing are exposed in this piece, and this allows new connections to be made and imagined across the unseen images themselves.
