04_image collector

A set of zines which contain pictures from the artist's camera roll, categorized by subject.

“In this work, I seek to reflect upon the ever present and ongoing shift from physical to digital archives, as well as the relationship that we, as casual archivists, have with these newer methods of collecting. Using the built in search feature in the photos app, I look through, sort and organize the images which I have captured in my everyday life into recurring subjects, compiling them into a small collection of zines to create tangible artifacts that allow me to browse through my digital collection in a physical manner.”
