Queens Museum of Art, New York
In his TRESPASS series, Sunil Gupta works with specific locations to "reinsert" historical evidence no longer obviously present back into the landscape. He records this evidence in the form of computer-generated iris prints composed of juxtaposed disparate images. TRESPASS 3, which was produced as part of Gupta’s fellowship in photography at Essex University, places the landscape surrounding Essex in a new context. Although the ports of Essex once did a thriving business in the slave trade, no physical traces of that history remain.
Gupta’s seemingly unconnected images reveal the trade and migrant history that Essex shares with non-European countries. His images forge psychic links between visible commercial, industrial, or tourist enterprises and the unseen individuals who labored in connection with them.
