Thomas Barrow's Cancellations is a series of photographic prints of desolate spaces--empty lots, construction sites, deserted industrial areas--that all show the presence of mankind without showing a single living human. Compiled in the 70s and 80s, Barrow's beautiful sepia-toned images show their age in their sheer physicality. These are clearly prints, not digital files, evidence of which can be seen in their specked and aged surfaces. And they call further attention to the hands-on process of silver gelatin photography through marks, often an X across the image, carved by Barrow directly onto the negative. Widely exhibited since its compilation, Cancellations will see print for the first time in the form of a beautifully produced artist's book. At once both a mordant social commentary on the built environment of the American west, and linked to the Process Art movement because of the distressed and defaced nature of the prints, this work calls attention to the photographic negative and the photo print as object--an important subversion in a medium often utilized for its subtle ability to clinically remove any evidence of process from its product, and in the digital age rapidly losing its ties to the physical world.
