DESCRIPTION
I relocated to New York from Los Angeles—and moved in with my boyfriend. As a result, our respective libraries converged. This is a relationship piece, and the titles of the works play off of the coupling. For example, Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” becomes “Two Hearts of Darkness” and Alain Robbe-Grillet’s “In the Labyrinth” becomes “Two in the Labyrinth.” These photographs are portraits of two subjectivities—even though we have read the same book, our experience of the same material is interminably independent of one another.
