The title, borrowed from French poet Arthur Rimbaud, translates roughly to “I is another,” which speaks to my rejection of purist or reductionist worldviews. In this series, image fragments are selected, hand-cut directly from books, and reassembled to create new spaces and narratives. This body of work samples imagery from photographs taken by significant figures during the golden age of post-war architectural photography when Julius Shulman, Lucien Herve, and Ezra Stoller used high contrast black and white photography to emphasize forms.
