between leaving and arriving (2019) is a photographic reproduction and enlargement of one un-annotated Ektachrome slide. It depicts an aerial view of an unknown place taken from an airplane, some where during the journey of my parents from Australia to Singapore. The full slide image is created with a grid of 88 A3 sized prints, coming together systematically to form the image of the photographic object. The once small object, easily held in one’s hand, is scaled to a size that reaches from floor to ceiling, confronting the viewer with its materiality, history, and eroded representation.
