With essays by Duncan Wooldridge, Nicholas Royle, Jonathan Casciani and Ashley Gallant.

Drift has been realised from a collection of over 20,000 35mm photographic slide transparencies, sourced from house clearances. Each resulting picture is made by photographing slides stacked together on a light box. The work reflects on the malleable nature of both memory and photography, and their elastic correspondences with reality.  

The book includes four newly commissioned essays, exploring the work from different perspectives: Photography academic and writer, Duncan Wooldridge, contextualises the project in relation to the conditions of our contemporary mediascape. Academic on The Uncanny, Dr Nicholas Royle, reflects on an inherently uncanny dimension in the work. Curator, Ashley Gallant’s, essay focusses on the sensorial experience of photographic matter and, in its poetic form, mirrors the painterly character of the work. Book publisher and curator, Jonathan Casciani’s essay positions the project in the wider context of the artist’s recurring interests, methodologies and creative concerns.
