Brisbane’s Natalie Billing reproduces 200 images from old photo-albums on porcelain slivers, and suspends them from the ceiling on ribbons. Divorced from the context of personal memory, the snaps become generic, aesthetic. Scissors sitting on a pedestal suggest that the ties could be cut and the images repossessed or smashed.
