Affectations Can Be Dangerous, printed chiffon scarves, 2022

Affectations Can Be Dangerous is a series of scanned film stills taken from a video of an improvised ballet performance and printed on chiffon scarves. In a process of deliberate deterioration, in opposition to the more familiar function of an archive to rescue that which is at risk of being lost, the image ceases to become a document and morphs into a new form. These effete objects on the edge of function, are never finite, but always exist of the threshold of becoming something else.
