I have been approaching galleries with a recently completed portfolio
of photogravures (with no success). One gallery which specializes in
prints which I thought would definetely be interested couldn't grapple
with the fact that they were photographic. I think any photographic
based process has to address the phenomenology of the photographic act
even if it means sweeping it under the carpet.
