A culmination of a half-decade of work created across numerous countries on both sides of the globe, Thinking Of You intertwines a complex range of personal projects into one, including the performance based photography of Jason Jaworski’s 1000 Miles project created in collaboration with MOCA, the process based images from his project SEA which had him developing his negatives with ash from a bomb site in Mexico City, the site-specific wandering from Rome Alone where he followed employees of several counterfeit factories in Taiwan and had his work printed at them, to the documentary theater of LABYRINTH where the artist followed a gang of little people through different slums in the Philippines where they created set pieces and scenes to act out for the camera.
An artist book produced by SSK Press to accompany the project was selected as one of the top ten photobooks of 2015 by 10X10 Photobooks, while the project itself was nominated for an ICP Infinity Award in the Arts category.
In exhibition form, the work is spread out across two large scale installations incorporating a mural of text, a video work projected onto glass and over 100 combined images and sculptures, emphasizing the layers of meaning in the artist’s work, specifically his career-long meditation and incorporation of time, memory, chance and distance, evoking the lush and the barren while simultaneously exploring and threading themes into a multitude of provocative questions related to a deeply entrenched longing which is common throughout all of Jaworski’s work.
