Place of origin |
Sam Taylor-Wood spent time on a film set shooting this sequence of stills of cast, crew and equipment. It is unclear whether the people we see in these photographs are acting or not, but it is possible to read the series of images as a narrative. It is also possible to create a new narrative by opening out the long concertina leaf into which the book is folded and then re-folding it in a different way. The photographs are an apparently random mix of colour and black and white images, something that increases the book’s sense of fragmentation and dislocated story-telling.
