Be/hold/en - A Duty of Care
An essay written for anthology ON CARE, edited by Rebecca Jagoe & Sharon Kivland, and published by MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE in 2020.
I want to think about attending to images, collections of images that simultaneously don’t belong to you, and yet do. Found photographs taken by others, of others. Orphaned images that depict skin like your skin. Tentative groupings. Fragile, difficult, raw, fugitive, demanding of a tender engagement. Soft touch. Slow looking. Careful study.
