to nurture
the things that other people discard. You have to
keep them
alive.” – Richard Avedon.
Paterson and Novak have photographed the
orphaned
objects of an ever-changing capitalist society.
Now they have
adopted the endangered muse for their new body
of work: film
itself as an object.
These artists reveal the warmth and sensuality of
the medium
often perceived as the coldest of the Modernist
era. – J.L.
