MONUMENTAL TAGGING, 2023
The map is the most mysterious place.
Long before location tags and street views, I used to imagine a program that would show me every photograph taken at the spot I was physically at. Layering the history tags infinitely.
Here is to the monumental tagging. Inserting archival images of places, as new tectonic plates.
Thank you Furqat Palvan-Zade for this collaboration.
