Invisible Forces, 2018 - 2020

“Invisible Forces” is an ongoing series of works based on the tradition of the paper flyer, a vernacular means of communication and exchange. The works present photographic images of things discovered on routine walks in places I live and visit, accompanied by short texts - philosophical and poetical free-association on topics reflected in the photos. The flyers, either distributed anonymously in public spaces or presented in exhibitions, incorporate their immediate surroundings, thus making them site-specific, as well as a form of urban archaeology. “Invisible Forces” reflects on how precariously we assign value, consume and discard, and ultimately, how life and death are inscribed in material culture.

“Invisible Forces” takes two forms simultaneously that respond to two different display contexts: simple paper photocopies (8.5” x 11”) that are anonymously distributed on bulletin boards as well as “unofficial” public sites; and as inkjet prints on thin aluminum sheets - the metal cut and bent to simulate the paper flyers - for exhibiting in art spaces. In both cases, the photo/texts present something discovered near to, or in the same location as their installation.
