From the Archives is an exploration of the photographic snapshot and how it acts as both a practical form of archiving and a translation of history through a specific set of aesthetic conventions. The work uses photomontages and audio recording to combine the ideas and principles of two different photographers to create a new archive that interprets what it means to catalogue life in imagery. Several dynamics overlap through double exposure: layman and artist, father and daughter, well-traveled and relatively provincial. Through the intimacy of photography as it represents and takes on the essence of its subjects, it examines the effect of the medium on intersubjectivity and memory.
