This exhibition comprised entirely of photographs, primarily in diptych format with the exception of two works (four of ten shown here). Each of the objects and landscapes documented were taken across Europe in 2004. Included is a photograph of Freud's mirror in his (now 'museumed') office, the phone in the Stasi Director's office in Berlin, infamous WWll train stations, forests were various european conflicts have occurred and so on. These seemingly benign objects and landscapes underpin a response to the historical landscape of europe marred by conflict and human horror and my own sense of being overwhelmed by these piling narratives. This exhibition was shown at Margaret Moore Contemporary Art in late 2005.
