Fletcher has expressed great admiration for the writing of WG Sebald, and his work is infused with the same quality of dreamlike melancholy, reflecting upon the passage of time and loss. The six images shown here are from a larger series that features several of Fletcher’s family members. The man on stilts is Fletcher’s brother, and in Untitled #130 his mother is partially reflected in a mirror. Violence and tenderness, repulsion and attraction, as well as sadness are all expressed in this elusive image of a faceless woman. These intimate photographs are all shot against the same wall in the artist’s north London studio. Despite the single, enclosed location, Fletcher’s series brings the world into this single frame – the photographs become a means of travel, suggestive of landscape, memory, the seasons, and history.
