Background Noise (2011 - 2013)
Pigment prints
Dimensions variable
Background Noise addresses the analog photograph’s shifting presence within contemporary culture, while meditating on questions of materiality in the digital age. Through the use of imaging tools, the mediated images that make up this project underpin the precariousness of photography’s role in remembrance in the face of digitization. The resulting scars symbolize the process of transference gone amiss. Existing somewhere between the corporeal and the intangible, the images in this project negotiate a transitional phase in archival practice.
