Circulation Figures
1972/2011

A series of large framed photographs displayed in a gallery, each showing a person holding a Nikon camera up to their face as if taking a photo. The floor of the gallery is covered with a thick layer of crumpled newspapers, and the sequence of identical images recedes into the distance, creating a tunnel-like effect.
