FATE
PHOTOGRAPHIC SERIES
PHOTO-NOVELLAS
Like the 'Trouble series, the scenarios in 'FATE' are not directly linked photograph-to-photograph. The imagery invites a broader narrative interpretation. The man in the black suit is as much a perpetrator as a victim of circumstance. He falls backward into a hallway, watches a volcano erupt, reads the want adds, climbs through debris and has a drunken vision of pink cartoon rabbits. There are twenty-two photographs in this series made between 1984-87, some of which are shown here.
"I'm interested in transitional spaces like corridors, waiting rooms, alleys, highways, elevators and the interiors of cars and airplanes. The things meant to happen in those spaces are also transitional, or could be considered non-events."
