My practice revolves around the subjectivity of documentation. There’s an example I use of how three different reviews of a single performance can be read as if they are about three different performances – the reviews themselves are as much about the writers as they are about what they are reviewing. I work with photography, sculpture, installation and audio, exploring how all forms of documentation are about their medium and the decisions or otherwise of the author as they are about what they profess to document.

Norman M. Klein describes how evidence ‘is a remnant left over by chance’: we understand a space, an event on those sources we have access to, but as Klein suggests, there should be an open-endedness, an acknowledgement of that which we do not know. I explore this idea by showing how documents in various forms – a written text, a photograph, an object or indexical trace – are limited in their ability to record a site or event by their medium, by the sensibilities of their author and by an audience’s reading.
