Archive in Play
Linda Studena experiments with photography, print, drawing and assemblage to explore the symbology of common objects, based on her interest in the socio-political dimensions of personal, historical and living archives. Archive in Play presents a series of works using methods of recording, erasure, and disruption that generate new associations of place, memory and time.
