Joselito Vershaeve weaves together black-and-white photographs of everyday encounters and staged archival fiction of the artist's own work, to create visual short stories that defy conventional interpretation. The recurring motif of the bird in many forms, as an illustration, origami creation, in flight, or emerging from the sand, is interspersed with images of textured rocks, the moon, and paths leading up and disappearing from the page. The human presence in the images is slight: veiled figures, blending into the landscape or stepping out of the frame, a grooved hand echoing the natural formation of the rocks, all small parts of the narrative. The images have been drawn from the artist's ever-growing archive, and have been selected and arranged in a rhythmic pattern, mimicking the act of writing a poem or novella.
