Search Engine

Search Engine is a series of index cards featuring photographs sourced from the Science & Miscellaneous section of the London Library - one of the world's largest independent lending libraries. These images are ordered as they were encountered, alphabetically by subject, on shelves that make neighbours of Sleep and Smuggling and that bring together Pleasure, Poaching and Poisons. The result could be seen as an archaeology of the photographic systems of knowledge that we often taken for granted.
