Manipulating the Photographic Language
Text by Anthony Prevost

Lena Amuat & Zoë Meyer make use of photography as a form of contemporary reliquary.Their work constructs a space that is a gathering and ordering of forms, shapes, and objects from a range of backgrounds, holding them up for the scrutiny of disbelief, and visibly unravelling some of the major lines of thought of the past few hundred years. The sources of their relics each contain a claim to knowledge systems, depicting series of ethnographic artefacts, mathematical models, educational tools as well as religious relics.This unsettled interruption highlights the provisional, propositional nature of their subject matter, their formalism turning into a creeping Platonic unease.
