Ruined Cities: Fragments
Archival pigment prints
In her series Fragments the Panamanian artist Iraida Icaza explores 19th century glass negatives from the Middle East held at the British Museum. By reinterpreting these found images of archaeological sites and ancient ruins, Icaza gives us insights into the way remnants of our civilisation may look like millennia ahead of us. In the imagination of the viewer, these images evoke mythologies of 'Fallen Cities', as well as collective uncertainties regarding the fragility of our own world.
