Spectrum

Spectrum is a series of digitally manipulated photographs of world-wide protests and marches, from which the text from banners and placrads has been removed. Instead of carrying meaning and proclaiming the bearer’s beliefs, they become pure cloth or paper, referencing the public sculptures of Christo, but on a much smaller, more local scale. The banners and placards become colourful, sculptural and tactile objects in these photographs and the title, Spectrum, reflects the organziation of these images according to colour rather political persuasion.
