Photographs
from the Missing Mass series
In each image, a different type of violence is suggested.
The scanners in the first 4 images suggest health violations.
Three sets of images were developed and produced for
the Missing Mass project. Each image is 12x12
inches in size.
|
|
The sites of violence in the first 4 images are from
the St.Vincent's hospital in Melbourne, Australia.
The original photographs were taken from various sites
of differentiated violence in Australia, UK, USA and
Canada.
|
The second set of images are taken from an airfield
where crashed planes and their fragments are transported
and stored.
The background (or context) of each photograph has been
erased. The images are subsequently digitally printed
onto card.
|
|
The event of the plane crash refers to the failure of
technology and the implicit violence associated to the
body in such an event.
The card was mounted onto a flat 12mm MDF wood block.
Each piece of wood has a hinge attached which screws
into the wall.
|
The third set of images focus on architecture and associated
historical violent happenings within or around them.
This image of a dilapidated house was taken in Detroit
in 1998. It was a former crack den.

An Image of the Tasmanian restaurant in Port Arthur,
which became a monument after Martin Bryant killed 35
people in 1996.
Whilst mirroring a similar process to that of the A.D.I.E.U.
project, Missing Mass further explores violence
and contextual escape.
