“Photographs are perhaps the most mysterious of all the objects that make you and thicken the environment we recognise as modern.

Photographs really are experience captured,

and camera is the ideal arm of consciousness in its acquisitive mood. “ (About Looking: John Berger, p.53)

 

We are interested in the idea of “Ready-made objects on the street”. It traced back to our observation of contemporary urban landscape, the time when we took photos on the street in London, Barcelona and Milano.

 

All the materiality will be gone one day, we decide to take our analogic cameras and take pictures of the objects lying down in the street as sculptures, a time based medium. For us, what is gone could be shown back through an image but it could not be anymore what is gone but a fabrication of it. What is gone is gone for always and maybe should be gone. The composition is already established once we find them and the elements are waiting to be discovered. We are interested in the result of them together but not in the process of how and why they end up together. We do not doubt to shoot a photo about these materials because of some reasons they end up being together in a same place creating a special connection. The result remains in our still images that are extremely saved into an analogical and digital (scanned negative) form. We shoot with analogic cameras to make sure we can touch the materiality of the picture in the way of being more closer and much in contact with the gone materiality shown in the photography.

 

The archive of the still images is used both for inspiration (copying) and as a final medium for the installation displayed for each photography. We copy, duplicate, fake the reason of the existing photography. Multiplying realities into various simulated approaches.
