Past Presence
The images in Floh come from old photographs Tacita Dean collected from American and European flea markets. Vacation snapshots, formal portraits, and candid photographs of everyday life point to specific moments of time that are long past. Dean presents these anonymous memories free of contextual information so that they form a random, non-linear narrative.
