WILLIAM E JONES, PUNCTURED
Punctured (2010), William E. Jones’ video projection featuring Farm Security Administration/ Works Projects Administration photos “killed” by the program’s director Roy Stryker is an autopsy or an investigative report, bringing to light pictures that were never meant to be seen. It is also a meditation on the nature of archives, and on the ability – or inability- of pictures consigned to purgatory to speak. Jones, in a roughly 5 minute looped video, shows us images that were rejected by Stryker. We are left to ponder why they were killed, and what it means that they can be seen again. The mutilated images remain compelling despite their scars, and Punctured suggests a kind of secret history of the Great Depression and of the WPA, the kind of secrecy that becomes possible whenever part of an archive is suppressed.
