A Room with Revolving Doors is a diptych created by photographing an architectural model of the photographic image. The model's design is based on the grid of the spreads from my 2013 photobook, Inadequate Metaphors. Based on a concept of 'grid and bleed,' the book features a solid, bold margin at the top and center of every page. The images are pushed to the corners, causing parts of them to be cropped in the production process. The two facing images thus relate to each other on formal, emotional, and sensory levels, resisting any fixed interpretation.
In A Room with Revolving Doors, this structure is translated so that the book's margins become the walls, and the images become the revolving doors. Just as an image opens up to the possibility of meaning through its arrangement and relationships, this empty room constantly changes its own spatial form depending on how its doors are opened or closed.
