{"product_id":"passports-2012-2025","title":"Passports 2012–2025","description":"Passports 2012–2025 presents an intimate body of work by Keisha Scarville taken\nfrom an ongoing series centred around her father’s earliest passport photograph.\nThe artist has reinterpreted the photograph over three hundred times to date,\neach iteration reworked and collaged with varying materials and found imagery –\npaints, beads, photograph fragments of Black bodies, gold leaf, glitter – to\nform a deeply textured act of photomontage. Interwoven with the passport works\nare archival images taken between the 1960s and 1980s in Guyana and New York\nCity, where her father settled in the US, his self-portraits, Scarville’s own\nphotographs of him and of Guyana’s striking landscape, and short transcripts of\ntheir conversations. Together these works excavate untold histories and disrupt\nthe false neutrality of the passport image in an interrogation of citizenship\nand personhood, absence and materiality. Drawing on all these strands, the book\nexamines and reimagines diaspora, bureaucratic images, and the archive, asking\nwhat it means to understand a person, especially a loved one, through an image.\nWith a new text by Tina M.
