Passage #1 is a new work relating to my ongoing enquiry into sites of heterotopia; here the notion of passage is referenced by Foucault [1961] in the Renaissance theme of the 'Ship of Fools'; both real in its existence as a means of exclusion, and imaginary as a landscape of difference or otherness. The original Polaroid source of the image carries its trace through the etching process; a passage itself from one state to another.
