Better At A Distance?
The cloud dissolved at times in a wisp of wind, or else remained suspended in mid-air; and the answer was in that cloud. As the puff carried the smoke away, the answer was in that cloud. As the puff carried the smoke away, Marco thought of the mists that cloud the expanse of the sea and the mountain ranges and, when dispelled, leave the air dry and diaphanous, revealing distant cities.it was beyond that screen of fickle humors that his gaze wished to arrive: the form of things can be discerned better at a distance.
Cities & the Sky 1 (Page 88, Vintage Classics, 1997)
Inspired by Italo Calvino’s descriptions of distant cities and playing with the open-ended readings and scaling that photography offers, the series Better At A Distance? invites us to see where our own narratives and stories take us. The cityscape was staged using a table-top sculpture using everyday office materials of staples and glues. It is presented as an archival limited-edition print without a frame, mounted on aluminium.
