This is a photo of a photo of a photo. Here I am experimenting with layout concerning a small booklet I produced on my MA at Brighton. It is really concerned with memory. A collection of memories is really like a collection of photos on a table. Different pictures of the same person in different contexts. I wanted the image to span both pages and be overlapping in the middle for the continuity of the image. I arranged the chairs so that one was facing another way. That adds a bit of suspense to the image and it is almost as if the photos have just been surveyed by someone or 'recalled'. Chairs can be a great indicator of presence / non presence / disturbance/ at ease. Chairs are so ingrained into our way of life with people having thier own chair - they can be made to signify people themselves. A chair upside down on a table signifies absence, stillness where as a chair on its side on the ground signifies violence.
