Foto Metafisica...works in progress


Photo Metafisica (i)

Foto Metafisica is the title of a series of artists' books (works in progress) that form my initial response to the unnamed and unidentified photographic images available in the archival collections at the State Library of Victoria as part of my creative fellowship with the library and supported by the iconic Baldessin Press. Although in its initial stages essentially I am interested in exploring/questioning the nature of the found photograph as memory-image. As a photograph devoid of any fixed narrative, historical yet vacant of its immediate known history, the nature of memory and the past seems to be placed in a state of suspension. The once grounded photographic image placed at a threshold between the fictional and the poetic.
