Tacita DeanFloh: Baby Lotion, 2000
Organized by Okwui Enwezor, Archive Fever: Uses of the Document in Contemporary Art presented works by contemporary artists who use archival documents to rethink the meaning of identity, history, memory, and loss. The works presented take many forms, including physical archives arranged by peculiar cataloguing methods, imagined biographies of fictitious persons, collections of found and anonymous photographs, film versions of photographic albums, and photomontages composed of historical photographs. The images have a wide-ranging subject matter yet are linked by the artists' shared meditation on photography and film as the quintessential media of the archive.
