Singer

By  Duncan Mountford 2016 - 2017
A large cabinet with internal lighting installed in a space in an area of Taipei once home to many sewing workshops. Within the cabinet were placed old machines, each one visible via a magnifying lens, thus easy interpretation of the objects is denied. History is not a process of facts (objects), but context and interpretation place these within the interactions of society.
