Description
Stephanie Syjuco After/images is a full-color catalog that accompanies a solo exhibition of her recent lens-based artworks. Filipino American artist Stephanie Syjuco rephotographs and reconstructs photographs from museum and library collections to reveal the instability of images and the violence of the colonial gaze. Through her artistic actions, Syjuco disrupts the implied innocence of the archival regime, employing visual disruptions, annotations, and other cues of constructedness. This monograph features essays by writer and art critic Aruna D'Souza, exhibition curator Georgia Erger, and scholar Ekalan Hou, offering insight into Syjuco's quest to read images - and history - through multiple lenses of narrative distortion. The catalog showcases Syjuco's most recent projects, which have dealt with materials relating to early 20th-century American imperialism in the Philippines, including ethnological displays from the 1904 World's Fair.
