A Metaphysical Slot Machine: Jason Fulford on Frozen Features

In Frozen Features, photographer Jason Fulford surrenders his 30-year archive to chance, explaining in an interview with Nathan Leigh Taylor how he used a “metaphysical slot machine” approach to pair negatives into unexpected juxtapositions. Co-edited with Sarah Chaplin Espenon down to fifty unresolved pairings, the Loose Joints publication draws on the history of photomontage to avoid fixed narratives, inviting readers to engage their own subconscious to complete each image’s meaning.
