La Boîte-en-téléphone

8.0 Mpx iPhoneography.

I always liked the idea of Marcel Duchamp's La Boîte-en-valise (Box in a Suitcase), a leather suitcase containing miniature replicas and photographic reproductions of his work. This portable miniature gallery, including sixty-nine reproductions of the artist's own work is perhaps today analogous to an online gallery, website or Instagram account.

Outside of the function of an omnipresent portfolio of work, I am particularly interested in Instagram as an accumulating series of photographs that reflect unconscious sensibilities of colour, form and subject matter back at me. When looking at these miniature tiles in totality, apophenic connexions become visible.

The ongoing nature of the account provides an impetus to look and consider my environment in new ways. While adding more images gives a greater total picture to discern, and reveals further qualities that would possibly remain hidden without the aid of this technology.
