Bungled Memories series. David Bate responds to Diderot’s concept of tableau and his praise of the then highly popular artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze to invoke questions about memory. Photographing domestic objects accidentally broken by him, Bate elevates these things from the humble still life to extravagant dramas of lost memories and enjoyment of the emotions involved in a broken object.
