Blur
Sandra Brewster
— Sofia Belmenouar
First presented as an exhibition, Sandra Brewster’s Blur brings out, in book form, the tactile and shifting dimension of the images. “As if it were a flipbook – the portraits begin to dance in my hands” writes Safia Belmenouar. This also reactivates “the very core of Brewster’s approach: to capture identity through its movement, its constitutive instability.” Marked by printing accidents and a lack of sharpness, the work as a whole presents itself as an act of resistance against representations imposed by colonial history.
