Subtitle: elsewhere, everywhere, nowhere
Blurb:
Spanning over a decade of cultural transformation, "REMOVED: elsewhere, everywhere, nowhere" is a photographic and personal reflection on the profound shifts in human presence, intimacy, and attention in the age of the smartphone.
This expanded volume offers never-before-seen photographs from the Removed series alongside newly released editions, personal journal entries, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the making of a body of work that has traveled the world and echoed across generations. More than a documentation of screens, Removed traces the emotional and physical residue of their influence, how we gather, how we drift, how we adapt.
With a deeply thoughtful introduction by renowned author and MIT professor Sherry Turkle whose work on the psychology of technology has been a guiding force in the artist’s journey as this book is both a time capsule and a mirror. It invites us to slow down, to look closely, and to ask what remains when everything is connected, but no one is fully here.
