Comprising a series of iconic street photographs recast as guerilla posters – and later rephotographed as they decayed on walls around the city – Jesse Marlow’s ‘(De)Compositions’ is a striking gesture capturing photography’s many afterlives. While images proliferate endlessly online today, Marlow’s series of works is an informal ode to the photograph’s physical potentials and limitations. We experience these images as fragments, repetitions, textures, and tears. Their gritty, fine-grain details, striking colour palette, and dynamic compositions are brought into vibrant conversation with one another across opposite pages, half of one image colliding and melding with half of another.
