"Here and There At the Same Time 1" is a collage made from two different photographs of a house or street taken in two different places, sometimes even two different countries. These paradoxical spaces intend to suggest an interlacing of dream and reality, interior and exterior, and past and present.
These disjointed labyrinths suggest the places of dreams, metamorphosed spaces where streets and doorways lead into secret rooms, corridors or staircases, with contrasts between convex and concave spaces. Houses double up one on top of another, as if the memory of one place lives on inside another. Inspired by the "Splitting" houses of Gordon Matta-Clark, I want to work with scissors and 2d surfaces rather than a chainsaw and real houses. This collage is made with ink-jet prints of my photos on acid-free watercolour paper glued together with archival glue.
