The Collection Is The Medium
Patrick Pound challenges notions of singular authorship by creating works using found photographs and objects from his personal archives, which have been amassed throughyears of obsessive searching and sorting. Pound has amassed 70,000 vernacular photographs and numerous objects. His collections are categorized according to specific characteristics, each containing their own highly subjective logic. As if the world is a puzzle to be solved, Pound forms complex arrangements and installations of images and objects from his archive, creating new relationships and ways of seeing things. As he puts it: “To collect is to gather your thoughts through things.” (from editor)
