Referent Fold by GM Keaton, Benjamin Heyer, and Timothy Earl Niell

​

Referent Fold contends with the loosening of the structural power of associations found in the indexicality of photography and archaeology. For GraceMarie Keaton, Benjamin Heyer, & Timothy Earl Neill, the index is no longer a literal trace connected to “truth”; the index is instead a fertile ground that works to reveal the poetic connection between things - how one relates to the other. GMK, BH, and TEN approach the image and the object as neither fixed or transcendent, but as autonomous agents - having the ability to grant and expand a subjective perspective.
