Fragile

Digital print on newsprint

World Book Night, 2020

A postcard-size double-sided print on thin newsprint, reproduces and responds to two handwritten Post-It notes I discovered stuck to the pages of a library copy of Nan Goldin’s photobook Fantastic Tales at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. The written text links the 1980s AIDS pandemic with the 2020/1 Covid-19 pandemic, also expressing ideas about photography (‘photos show both the light and dark sides of existence’), books and the marks left by others.
