My Parallel Archive
2009
Through the artist’s extensive family archives (primarily her father’s film and photographic archives spanning 50 years), the work explores the use of staging within private histories and the psychology of portraiture as photographic document. It also examines the interrelated themes inherent within the (private) archive, the self reflexive nature of archiving, and how particular constructs and narratives might translate and be reproduced as a collective and multi-layered memory.
