Stephanie Syjuco: The Unruly Archive
Bound in a unique format with different types of paper, the pages are cut and layered to simulate the process of physically excavating folders in an archive. By examining the blind spots, holes, and fragments of these collections, she examines the ways photography, anthropology, and national archives produce and proliferate images of exclusion and cultural Othering.
Using techniques of layering, blocking, digital manipulation, pixelating, blowing up, and taping together, the artist's work ultimately seeks to "talk back" to the archive and find agency in challenging its images. As she states in the book's introduction, "I do not make work about Filipino identity; I make work about the white gaze, and those are two totally different things."
