An attempt at exhausting an archive/ Found Photo Foundation

The Found Photo Foundation/FPF, under the patronage of paula roush, deals with visuals suitably named
‘orphan photographs’ and explores this very possibility
of walking the line between temporal and spatial domains, where the empirical and the surreal grow surprisingly close. The FPF can also be read as an artistic experiment of twisting the document value
of an archive beyond its proverbial linearity of
causes and consequences.
As the connection to the real is often lost,
the project is above all a platform of invented spaces that suggests taxonomical methods of artistic research deep into generations and the unknown.
