Memories of the Future, 2014/2020 is a single exposed roll of medium format film presented as object, re-envisioning the essential elements of time-based and still imagemaking, frames of film, as essential elements of building and construction, bricks. Presented as a vertical or horizontal structure, this single roll of transparency film, converted into a wall sculpture, is filled solely with light and color from the sky, uniting ephemerality with permanence.
The blue square, a recurring motif in my work, is employed as a symbol of indexicality, the basis of photography’s truth claim. Image, meaning and the photograph have never been stranger bedfellows. Construction of meaning and the excavation of truth in our increasingly image-based lives is the challenge of our time.
