The conversation that instigated the publication of ‘Five Folds & Thirty Two Images of a Yard’ began late last year when Jo Dennis invited Trine Stephensen to her studio and to see her recent photographic series, nominally titled ‘Yard’. These images were taken at a car workshop in South East London, and this publication is in response to this new body of work - ‘No Parts Can Leave Yard Without Payment’. Thirty-two images, made from a single image of the ‘Yard’ folded five times over - creates order and control over a place that we have no control over, and that will eventually disappear. By changing the order of what we see, a new understanding of the place is brought about. Things are made odd in their new assemblage and new forms come into existence within the folds of the image.
