Writing

The essays do not explain the photographs. They continue the same questions through language.

They begin with the conditions surrounding an encounter with an image: how seeing is learned, how interpretation is prepared, how institutions distribute attention, and how works are selected, compressed, recognized, rejected and carried forward.

Writing allows me to follow what a photograph may make perceptible without naming. The texts stand beside the images—not as instructions or theoretical justification, but as another form of the work.

Both begin from the same uncertainty: meaning belongs neither entirely to the work nor entirely to the viewer. It arises between them, within conditions that are already social, cultural and political.
