| Tacita Dean | Floh | postmedia |
The images in FLOH
are of photographs discovered by the artist in flea
markets across Europe and America. These portraits,
holiday snapshots, documents of banal occurrences or
spectacular views have all been retrieved and given a new
existence - their spirit lies in the shapes they carve in
the viewer's imagination: the stories, memories and
concepts they inspire. |
