Proximity Machine presents a series of static "films" made from found and re-photographed images collated from a variety of sources. Edited into associative groupings, the newly formed series of short sequences construct fragments of narratives that allude to filmic language, writing, or chains of thought. Through the act of editing, each successive image affects the next, creating a montage in which unexpected projections, hidden shapes, and mythologies materialise.

Proximity Machine includes an essay by Will Bradley, and is published as part of Singular Sociology, a project curated for Book Works by Nav Haq.


この本は、さまざまな所を出自とするファウンドフォト、複写写真で作られた静的な「映画」のシリーズ。複数のグループに編集され、映画の言語や文章、思考の連鎖などに言及する新しいシーケンスのシリーズを形成している。編集の行為を通して、それぞれの連鎖するイメージは次のイメージへと作用して、予想外の投射や、隠された形、そして神話学が形成されるモンタージュを生み出している。
