"In This Is Captured Paper, I create photocollages based upon archival images from the American colonial period in the Philippines. By physically cutting, pasting, and rearranging elements of the images, I aim to deconstruct and critique the colonial gaze, while attempting to reclaim the photographic narrative. I hope that by layering and reshaping images upon images, the cumulative effect interrupts the reading of the original photograph. In some collages, the cut patterns reference textile-makers across the Philippine archipelago, while in other collages, shapes and silhouettes allude to a problematic colonial past. By weaving historical photographs into my own contemporary art practice, I interrogate the lasting influence of imagery that codified colonial power dynamics between the United States and the Philippines."—Jason Reblando
