Memory allocation

Series of prints on 40*30 cotton paper - Specific software processing of silver images A memory allocation problem. A glitch. Something that forces the place of something else for obscure reasons. It's a computer problem and a graphics card problem that can be provoked, but there's more to it than that. Julien Mandel's images creep in. His photos of nude women, which he created under a pseudonym around 1920, were "postcards" in name only, since it was forbidden to send them by post. But the format was practical, so they could be hidden in books. That's where we still sometimes find them, between pages that have no use for them. The subject of attention is no longer the book, but its long-dead reader, buried with his problems of memory allocations that made him store nymphs in discreet interstices. It leaves behind an incongruity. We can always try to make the image stick to the text, or at least to the binary language of the computer. To revive the un-ranged spirit of the reader-viewer.
