Notes on Stills for a Film Not Made

This project began a few years ago: the photos are from different places, different times and different cameras. As it continues to evolve, I look through old images, take new ones, crop images. Along the way, I realized that a random approach to arranging them was the way to go. Each of these photos is meant to be seen next to another, and in that way they become a sentence that forms non-narrative narrative, and that then becomes more than the single image. Each time the work has been exhibited, the curator has chosen from a larger group of photos, and then arranges an order. The series Stills For a Film Not Made (from which this book emerged) is an ongoing, ever changing project."The book is one version, arranged by me by selecting a group of images and letting them fall by chance. I kept pairs that worked and rearranged those that didn't. Like shuffling cards, the images found their own order."
