This work headlined the 2020 exhibition, A Substitute World | Photographs by Jennifer Greenburg. Work belonging to this series images have haunted her since the moment they were made – the weight of these spaces inspired the uncanny necessity to make the image. As an artist whose typical practice involves elaborate image construction, Greenburg recognizes indulging in the compulsion of image making does nothing to advance the media. However, she also acknowledges the feeling is only satiated by the act, and sometimes time sharpens relevance. The images in A Substitute World had no place in the photographer’s practice until circumstances of the epoch allowed for context to reframe them.
