'The Hare with Amber Eyes', by Edmund De Waal is a journey through

the history of a family in objects, it is a most personal book. Objects

feature in this story as a way of opening a dialogue and discussing the

ownership of objects. The compromises surrounding their ownership

And how ideals begin a story but by the end of a journey that have been

the pursuit of perfection, compromise and attention paid to things.

“I floated this image in the canal for a week. It's a photograph of the place where I floated it. The water peeled away the layers of emulsion within the transparency to reveal the different colours embedded in the film. There's a kaleidoscopic effect as the light dances and ripples through them – just as it did on the surface of the canal.”

CATHERINE YASS

For the series Decommissioned Catherine Yass photographed a car showroom and dance studio, when the building was destroyed Catherine Yass placed the photographs around demolition site for a couple of weeks. The images had scratches, rips and the colour from the emulsion had been altered.

Catherine Yass presented each image in a light box, each light box was placed at height level according to the elements in the image.
