John Latour’s photography, page art and sculpture explore the concept of “the past” and how it is mediated through images, texts, and objects. In his photographic work, he uses vintage found snapshots or portraits of individuals and small groups of people from the early twentieth century. By applying flecks of white paint to these anonymous figures, their features become blurred and highlighted – existing both in the past and present, in a state of presence and absence.
