The book, Deterioration and Loss, in the project, Out of Context into Chaos:
- Helps me deal with my concerns of deterioration and loss as I age.
- Uses reassembly to emphasize the deterioration and loss in the photos of abandon, deteriorating objects that I have collected.
- Emphasizes the finiteness of life.
- Figuratively predicts that my life is headed for chaos.
- Challenges viewers to reconsider the functions of resemblance and composition.
- Posits that resemblance created by a camera is an exciting and attractive tool, but resemblance of an image to a scene treats all objects equally and draws attention to no one in particular.
