Dust. The Plates of the Present
Dust. The Plates of the Present is a photographic installation made between 2013 and 2018 at the initiative of Thomas Fougeirol, the French painter, and Jo-ey Tang, the American artist and curator. Together they invited each of one hundred and twenty-four artists – visual artists, musicians, writers and video-makers of a variety of nationalities – to produce a series of eight photograms in an improvised dark room in Ivry-sur-Seine. Dust is a grandiose collective work that pays homage to a rapidly disappearing form of image.

activism during a decade of increasing political mobilization around
gay rights, fierce pussy brought lesbian identity and visibility directly
into the streets. Low-tech and low-budget, the collective responded
to the urgency of those years, using readily available resources: old
typewriters, found photographs, their own baby pictures, and the
printing supplies and equipment accessible in their day jobs. fierce
pussy was composed of a fluid and often shifting cadre of members.
Four of the original core members — Nancy Brooks Brody, Joy Episalla,
Zoe Leonard, and Carrie Yamaoka — continue to work together.
