Hugh Sanders
I am preoccupied by photographicness in the work that I make.
The implication of photography- the “photographicness’ of something.
Not in a direct reproductive way but a more abstract –
more to do with photographic fragment.
The piece of photographic image which has just enough information to
inform that it is indeed something to do with the photographic –
but leaves one wondering what the rest of it is – to what does it belong –
what does it imply or indicate or disclose.
It has a melancholy –
likened to Barthes espousal of photography only disclosing the past.
