"The Tourist" series, Switzerland, Snapshots, 2006/2012

In this work directly above, I took what appear to be a series of faded tourist snapshots I took of European fountains and put the same image of myself in each scene. By presenting moments that never actually existed, I am rewriting the memory of a foreign holiday.

I used a 1950's era camera purchased at a flea market to capture these images. It uses only one exposure setting and focal length. Mid-format film was fitted into the camera, the recommended film no longer being available, hence the distortion in some images. The film was cross-processed, then digitally scanned and manipulated.

 

All images are available at approximately 24" x 34" for $500 unframed or 9" x 14" for $200 unframed. Limited editions of 3.

 

Archival pigment prints.
