Apparatus 1-3
Apparatus is a self-publishing project that acts as a home for the pictures from my walks and drives around Western Massachusetts.
The images in this issue were made in Western Massachusetts during the coronavirus pandemic. There seems to be little left to say about this period of time, but here I am, publishing these images in 2022. I think these pictures of decayed signs, boarded storefronts, graffiti and various kitsch are documents of junk culture. When the lockdowns accelerated the closing of area businesses, a light was shown on the hollow nature of consumerism. When there was nothing left to buy, it suddenly seemed as if there was nothing left to do.
