As part of my residency in Kaohsiung, I am presenting a photographic installation entitled ‘Stereotomy’, which covers the windows of a small modernist building on the waterfront near my studio. This photographic work is made up of images taken in Kaohsiung since my arrival, representing fragments of post-war architecture, mostly in concrete. These images have been then assembled in the form of a photocollage.
Stereotomy is the art of cutting three-dimensional solids into specific shapes. It’s used especially in the art of stonecutting, the stone here being concrete.
