This pamphlet was the my catalogue for the Socle du Monde Biennial in Herning 2004, as a companion to Danes in the Sun, the newspaper produced for this show. Finding Photographs is a poetic manifesto / descriptive workbook on my general approach to found photography. Using sample photographs from previous projects and exhibitions, I discuss the logistics behind my gathering and organizational methods, arguing for the circulation of culture and claiming the 'spaces between photographs' to be my work. The print version is available for purchase from Herning Kunstmuseum as long as the edition lasts.
