Research behind the installation.   Dissertation' Out of Sight'

"I found a horde- Hundreds of 35mm colour slides in a junk yard on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The individually hand written labels ranged in   dates 1939- 1988.From these I started to build up an idea of whose life in images I had found, my initial conclusion was, one man.

After a few more days of rummaging at Sammy Burns junk yard, on his burning pile and many sheds, I gathered all forgotten boxes and individual slides. Painstakingly cleaning them and putting them in order, by year, a structure to the mans life began to appear, his life encapsulated every corner of Scotland over the years, which his photographs had captured, impeccably over 5 decades.

 

One Small box had a partial name on it, D.R.J Wallace, over the next six months , using clues in the slides, from places to school uniforms I worked out who he was and what he had done. A very shy man, who had kept himself to himself. He had been a Boffin in WW11."
