BOYM DESCRIBES THE PRODUCTION PROCESS:
“I pulled each picture manually out of the printer, its loud protestations notwithstanding. The rhythm of withdrawal is unrepeatable and so is each print. This procedure goes against both the printer’s instruction manual and the mass reproduction of the photographic images.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Svetlana Boym (1959-2015) was a Russian-American cultural theorist and visual artist, and a Professor of Slavic languages and literature at Harvard University. Her scholarship explored the vestiges of myth and memory, as in her acclaimed book The Future of Nostalgia (2001), a theme that also infused her multilayered, manipulated photographs.
