2018
Pool (2016-2018) is a translation of my accumulated analog black and white photographs into a thick, grayscale stack of cheap inkjet prints on plain office paper, installed as a stump of a non-existent column on the corner edge of an abandoned structure at Makiling Botanic Gardens, set in place by a sheet of volcanic rocks found on-site, exposed to heat, rain, and dew, a ream of images simultaneously exposed and out of sight.
I draw from this pool of photographs for material in other work such as in videos, zines, and installations but do not present them in/as themselves, sometimes reusing the same images across different projects and media. Placed in this environment, I imagined the leaves sticking to each other and the images eventually lost, (trans)forming (into) a black brick, a dead, new object.
