press release

Touhami Ennadre's larger photographic practice is marked by the dislocation of sites of memory, identity, death, and disaster through the representation of indistinct emblems. His photographs memorialize place and identity, but often resonate a lack of cultural specificity. However, his work from September 11 contradicts his former project. Resistant his entire career to taking pictures in the documentary style, Ennadre's incessant refusal of reportage was dispelled by this event. These images signal a continuation of Ennadre's efforts towards the transfiguration of subjects and the documentation of trauma as memorial.
