His exhibition at Index presents two different works that investigate the relationship between images and meaning: His installation “Index: Riots, Protest, Mourning and Commemoration (as represented in newspapers, January 2000- July 2002)” consisting of 18 panels with a selection of photographs cut from newspapers, and a large bouquet made from 95 different flowers. The exhibition closes on 26 June.
