Carolyn Thompson Black Mirror 2011

BLACK MIRROR

Black Mirror consists of the full thirteen pages of Truman Capote’s short story Music for Chameleons as it appears in the Penguin Pocket edition My Side of the Matter. Each page has been scanned from the book. The words have been replaced with colour blocks, where those colours appear in the original story. A layer of black replaces the remaining text. Whilst some pages are colourful and vibrant due to the number of colour references in the original, others remain stark and unsettling.

2011, 13 x archival pigment prints on Hahnemühle Photo Rag
