About

Mark Burden works with proxies.

My work is currently primarily digital native, emerging from a low-tech image space and not necessarily originating in any physical medium.

I might rework an image into a different digital form, for example a time-based reel or screen-based installation, or transition it into analogue as a pigment print.

Groups of prints might be sequenced or non-sequenced into an archival box or custom folio.

I may use a boxed set of prints as a performative device, enabling me to enact the physical unboxing and placement of prints before reboxing, which might correlate with the digital processes of storage, transfer, release, and removal back to storage.

Images and text on the site are updated periodically.
