1 What does the television represent? 2 Why a television? 3 Should one be engaging with whats pictured on the television screen?
The answer to all: The television is one of many subjects that could be removed from the original photograph and placed in a whole new narrative. The reason for it being a television: working with photographs (still images) one constantly came across the T.V (which was on at the time) frozen in its space and revealing its pictures...they have become frozen themselves. A picture inside a picture.
The image of the television with the aerial makes one want to stare at the screen until the image moves. You never have a television paused on its subject permanently. The only reason one should engage with what is pictured on the television screen is to distinguish the time in the past in which the picture was photographed originally. To decipher the narratives birthplace and where it is now placed in the present.
