Course #999

Henry Obeng

This project is about my daily conversations I have with family and friends which mostly happens when I’m out and about the city taking photographs of nature. These images are printed on different samples of handmade papers and also some conversations are printed on the other end of the paper. The conversations are overlapped over and over according to the number of times I talk to them daily - these are then cut into collages with the idea of isolation. These texts are superimposed on each other which create an illusion of code text in order to hide some sensitive messages. The photographs are printed in grayscale because I am also interested in the material presence as part of the photograph.
