memento mori

Dan Browne

memento mori is a layered exploration of the total photographs captured over the course of a lifetime – over 100,000 in total. This personal archive, the dizzying documentation of a life, represents a plurality of subjects, objects, thoughts, dreams and experiences, forming an encyclopedic index of the possibilities of sight.

Poem

Dan Browne

An ode to my daily environment, and to the presences of two beings: one arrived recently, the other recently left. The images merge in dreamlike passages that reveal the infinity of the potentials of vision within the finitude of everyday objects.

Numbers

Dan Browne

Numbers was created during a trip to Manhattan, where I caught my self-reflection in a glass door that read ‘41’ after having photographed the number 42 earlier the same day, and subsequently continued hunting until I found everything else between 1 and 100. Dedicated to Hollis Frampton. – D.B.
