This is an album page by Foto Brusse, it's a collection of architectural scenes. I know that urge, when you're taking holiday snaps, of needing to record the grandiosity of buildings, trying to capture their essence. But it’s like, how do you do that? How do you flatten a whole experience into a single image? It is interesting to see these images here together, slightly overlapping and at odd angles to one another on the dark grey page. You see a series of impressions from one person’s experience of these spaces. Placed here together on this page they become a new kind of landscape, a new kind of experience. Foto Brusse is in conversation with other artists and other image makers, about how images work, how we remember places, how we collect experiences. The materiality of photography has changed so much since this was made; it's interesting to think about how we now collect and distribute images, and what traces of the human hand remain.
