The photographs in Zoe Leonard’s Analogue trace the “layered, frayed, and quirky” beauty of a fading way of life. Zoe Leonard documents the vanishing face and texture of twentieth century urban life, as seen in the shop windows of mom-and-pop stores. Lacking the glamour of the shopping mall and the digitally manipulated perfection of mail order catalogs, these fading objects tenaciously hold on to their disappearing place on city streets. Recognizing that digital technology has transformed traditional photography just as chain stores and multinational corporations have changed the face of urban life, Leonard attempts to preserve the photographic realm of the analogic—the photograph’s distinct ability to record physical data into a corresponding image. Analogue is a testament both to vanishing city storefronts and to the endangered status of photography itself. Leonard also documents a twenty-first century phenomenon, the globalized rag trade. Her photographs follow a shipment of discarded clothing from a clearing station in her native Brooklyn to used clothing markets in Kampala—showing us, in the trajectory of one commodity, the economic and social forces that link us globally.

Produced on the occasion of Haegue Yang’s exhibition Unpacking Storage Piece at Haubrokshows, Berlin, 29 September–3 October, 2007.

“Storage Piece was created in 2003. It consists of works that had yet to be sold and nowhere to be stored. Meanwhile, the work, born from necessity, had been exhibited numerous times. Upon its purchase by Axel Haubrok at Art Forum 2005 in Berlin, Haegue Yang transferred the work’s authorship to the collector. The possibility to unpack it was a conceptual part of the work and has now been realized by the owner together with the artist.” Exhibition press release
