About
Fig. consists of a series of still life, portrait, and landscape photographs, which trace links and associations between photography, imperialism, and the colonial impulse to acquire, map, and collect. Julian Stallabrass describes this work as being about ‘objectification, description, representation and classification carried to the ultimate point of the power over life itself.’
