The Archive of Unmade Photographs, a collaboration between ark Strandquist and Rebecca Hackemann. 2014, 2019. In this socially engaged interactive project commissioned by Wave pool Gallery as part of the Cincinnati FotoFocus (a privately funded biennale, the largest one in teh US for photography), catalog. Collection boxes like this one were stationed around town, in bars, laundromats and at the libraries. People were asked to draw and write about a moment that they WISH they had a photograph of. The project postcards are then collected periodically by the gallery and displayed. Participants remained anonymous and revealed extremely close and private emotions and experiences. ©Rebecca Hackemann and ©Mark Strandquist.
