October 17 – December 9, 2005
“Sub-version” is a series of photos taken by de Swaan in the days following the tragedies of Sept. 11, 2001. They juxtapose the bland reality of life outside the artist’s window with the scenes of horror found at that same time on television screens. By combining documentary with staged photos that incorporate images from the media, de Swaan explores society’s changing social panorama and how world events increasingly enter the domestic sphere.
