To retrace is not to arrive anywhere new, but to tread ground already walked, checking what has shifted and what remains the same. The debut publication from Naarm-based photographer Karl Halliday gathers fragments from the artist’s archive of images drawn from the ordinary furniture of a life lived and re-lived in photographs. The past not looked back on so much as reworked, carried forward, made to answer for the present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eNothing is quite alone; everything is shadowed by what it recalls or replies. The road observed from the passenger seat, giving way to a path remembered. Collisions invite the eye to hunt for the logic joining any two moments, dissolving into a somnambulatory state of free association and open proposition. A retracing that erodes slightly each time it runs, like ground worn by repeated passage. What accumulates is less a story than a rhythm, a circular movement, returning again and again until the going-back becomes the subject. They are the humble repetitions that life turns out to be made from.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eInterleaved throughout the book, an accompanying text by Paul Boyé acts as a loose guide through \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eRetracer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e; offering points of orientation without prescribing a route.
