Photography of the overlooked: Steven Seidenberg's Tokyo Tape (2016).
I keep thinking about this work.
Tape is a common material found on Tokyo streets and train platforms. It is used as directional signage and as masking tape during construction. Over time the application of tape builds into layers of colourful textured surfaces while residual applications fade and linger without context blending into the urban interface.
Seidenberg work composes the tape as two-dimensional surfaces. They are abstract observations with bright repetitious shapes against a variable backdrop of monotone textures.
