This project uses repetitive, low-fidelity photocopying to critically reproduce and degrade a colonial image by James Hakewill, mirroring its historical and contemporary mass circulation while refusing the care and prestige it has been afforded as a “valuable artwork”, by using a commercial copier and cheap, disposable paper. Shown as a diptych, the final unstable copy is paired with a carefully produced transcript of a friend’s memory of her grandparents’ home in Jamaica, using a reverse of the traditional intaglio printing technique used in the original production of Hakewill’s images, by engraving a sheet of material but relief printing instead, allowing her diasporic testimony to sit alongside and quietly undo the picturesque colonial view. My role is not to translate her voice but to act only as a channel, transmitting her words verbatim for a counter-archive that honours the intimacy and fracture of diasporic memory.
