Ruthie Glaser is a visual and performative artist who lives in Brighton. Her work centres around collecting and valuing hidden narratives, to which she gives a voice through archival realignment;
“Found Photography” – the quest to repatriate people with lost pictures and to imagine meaning where none can be externally given.
“Found Objects” – grammatical punctuation ascribed to discarded street rubbish in order to question thought processes behind fly tipping and the desire to divert waste to charitable funds.
“With Age Comes . . .” the creation of contemporary intergenerational history through the voices and photographs of older and younger people.
“Self Referential Nomenclative Lexicon of War” is derived from names on war memorials to write poetry relating to war with the limitation that only names, as voices, of the war dead can be used in the work.
“Memory Stamps” are a photographic archive of items that are no longer possessed, but which do still hold emotional significance.
Her tangential approach opens up the potential of each individual giving a platform to the factual or reimagined.
