4x6 prints, archival boxes |
Displayed are boxes of photographs reproduced from my hard drive. Organized and titled as each pictures folder, I have printed out every single image and placed them in individual boxes that represent each folder. The reproduction of a virtual reality into a tangible, physical existence examines and comments on the actual space photographs hold. These boxes are in a physical realm that takes up space much like the capacity images take up on my hard drive. However, digital storage has reduced the amount of physical space that objects once consumed. There are approximately 750 images in these boxes, and that in virtual reality, hardly takes up any space, which raises the question: How much are we actually carrying with us?
