Paul Etienne Lincoln: The Purification of fagus sylvatica var pendula
Hardcover | 22.5 x 26.5 cm | 48 pp
Coracle | 2005
Edition of 600 numbered copies
The Purification of Fagus sylvatica var pendula is emblematic of Paul Etienne Lincoln's inquiry into the origin and production of memory - and our ethereal relationship to that intangible evidence of our consciousness. In this pursuit Lincoln has employed diverse forms and themes, ranging from examination of historical figures to detailing anything from New York City infrastructure to “household” machines that dispense gin-and-tonics.
Comprised of photographs, diagrams and text, The Purification records the series of experiments and performances which detail the afterlife of a specimen of local vegetation. Lincoln has committed himself to creating complex installations, recordings and documentation on a wide range of subject matter. The Purification follows Lincoln's investigation of the Weeping Beech as a way of detailing the process of examination and history writing which is ever shifting and defining the world around us.
