Bookworks

How can a 19th Century photograph or an artefact from the 1960s become a contemporary source of meaning? Artists’ bookworks present a way of looking at such material, point to other meanings and take the reader/viewer through an art process, which involves some detective work. Here are four examples that share similar concerns but the results are very different.

About

Nicky Bird is an artist whose work investigates the contemporary relevance of found photographs, and latent histories of specific sites, investigating how they remain resonant. She has explored this through photography, bookworks, the Internet and New Media. In varying ways she incorporates new photography with oral histories, genealogy, and collaborations with people who have a significant connection to the original site, archive or artefact.
