The Tangibility of My Phone Gallery
By Mona Abolghasemi
“The Tangibility of My Phone Gallery” is an exhibit that transforms the intangible clutter of digital photos into a physical reality. In this project, I focus on 24 months out of a five-year period, during which approximately 9,900 photos were collected on my smartphone. I use empty folders or boxes (without real photos in them). Each box shows a month from these two years. The size of each box changes depending on how many photos I took that month – more photos mean a thicker box. Every box has a label showing the year, the month, and how many photos it represents.
