(Signed) Constructed Landscapes: Addendum by Dafna Talmor

A photobook by London-based photographer Dafna Talmor.

In Constructed Landscapes: Addendum, Talmor’s 2020 monograph, Constructed Landscapes, served as a catalyst to produce new work that relies on the repurposing and reimagining of redundant source material, a process integral to her practice. Activated through recurring actions performed in the colour darkroom, it extends Talmor’s exploration of voids and negative spaces. Through multiple transitions and reproductions, colour photograms made with collaged book sheets of the monograph render the original source material―and its connotations―invisible while retaining their indexical trace. By oscillating between negatives and positives, Talmor seeks to playfully blur the often-rigid boundaries and reductive relationship imposed on traditional photographic practices. Through this process, a cycle of mechanical reproduction is instigated, eventually coming full circle. Similar to all the works in the Constructed Landscapes series, the work highlights the analogue glitches and the materiality of the process; light leaks out to form flares and imperfections, which are a result of the hardware and optics of the darkroom, while simultaneously enhancing the visibility of the artist's hand.

Includes one lithograph print. Signed and numbered by the artist.
