(Copy) 80. The Schwarze Mönch is a photocopied artist book; a journey through a found set of photographic glass plates. 

Tracing the marks left on the glass surfaces over time and delving into the images themselves, the book merges these with new marks collected in the process, the result of mechanical imperfections in the photocopier, dust, or creases and folds on the printed surfaces. 

The book travels through emerging landscapes, eventually reaching a strange plateau where the artist finds herself reiterating the processes of the original photographers.

Like the glass plates originally encountered, (Copy) 80. The Schwarze Mönch is an active vessel which carries time, memory and unique projections, continuing to accumulate new traces as it is handled by the viewer.
