Discard

2001 - 09, pigment ink jet prints and Fuji Crystal Archive prints
 

Trajectories: Marking Time in Contemporary Art, Jennie A. Fleming, The Art Gallery, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 2009

Discard is a body of work consisting of several discrete series of photographic prints featuring movie films discarded by public institutions (libraries, schools, archives). Harking back to the 19th century practice of postmortem photography, each print serves as a memento mori to an obsolete film. More generally, the series reflects on the often arbitrary process that determines which cultural artifacts are digitized and preserved and which are discarded.
