'...the whole show is predicated on a notion of absence-as-presence...'

Projection comes to perform the function of the object represented in the projected image.

The gap between object and language.

So simple but so effective.

Re-Projected

Image derived from object.
Projecting photograph of essentially absent object. Sense of the body yet not visible.

Certainty/confusion. 
Narrative of repeated projections?
What is fragmentation?

What is unity?

These photographs aestheticize. 'Digital' colours (whilst un-edited) distract from the purpose of the process. To fragment. To take the object further away from itself, subjected to human intervention. Object is flattened, yet still sculptural: 2D/3D: Object/Photograph/Sculpture/Drawing: fragment/whole.
