Pleased to announce the exhibition of two large format photographs as part of the Imaging Detroit project and the Detroit Design Festival 2012. In Detroit and on detroit, the work will be installed in Perrien Park, and draws from a series titled Les Fugitives. The project was completed over the course of a fellowship with the Metropolitan Observatory for Digital Culture and Representation (MODCaR).

fragment

“Mon hypothèse de travail était que toute mémoire un peu longue est plus structurée qu’il ne semble. Que des photos prises apparemment par hasard, des cartes postales choisies selon l’humeur du moment, à partir d’une certaine quantité commencent à dessiner un itinéraire, à cartographier le pays imaginaire qui s’étend au dedans de nous.”

[My working thesis was that every somewhat extensive memory is more structured than it seems -- that photos taken apparently at random, postcards chosen following momentary whims, begin given a certain accumulation to sketch an itinerary, to map the imaginary land that stretches out inside of us.]

Imaging Detroit
MODCAR’s fellowship program advances new modes of urban representation and visual analysis. The fellowship is open to artists, architects, urbanists, theorists, and thinkers engaged in innovative modes of image production and dissemination related to contemporary cities. The fellowship program is not geographically or disciplinarily biased. And we encourage applications working with wide range of visual mediums, including, but not limited to video, photography, installation, performance, and film. Fellows receive support in their research and experimentation. The annual program culminates with an exhibit and publication of the work.
