I'll be seeing you, 2002
I’ll be seeing you: The Reconstructions… references the documentary genre of police photography to explore notions of identity and memory re-construction. It suggests that memory is essentially a form of imagination, melding the physical perception of the real with the elusive portrayals of remembered faces and intense experiences. Although I actually did go to the police to reconstruct these faces from my own memory of a specific experience, the photographs do not disclose the facts behind the faces. The work offers the viewer an opportunity to investigate and to essentially construct, just as the portraits are literally collaged, their own narrative from the given fragments. |
