The Process The Photograph is Threaded Through: The Images of the Marina Gadonneix and Louise Lawler

The essay The Process The Photograph is Threaded Through: The Reproduction Image in Marina Gadonneix and Louise Lawler reexamines the case of the photographic document of art, especially Louise Lawler’s photographs of works in galleries and homes of collectors. Exploring the movement of imagery in the work of two artists, Marina Gadonneix and Louise Lawler, this text traces the conditions of the photograph’s role in documenting artworks, producing low-friction imagery which allows an image to become unmoored from its sense of time and place, as well as exploring the image’s own materialities, which are exploited by Louise Lawler, so that the image might respond to its receiving surface, distorting to fit the wall, page, or matchbox.
