Small Enough To Sit Under A Mushroom

“Form the meaningless world into photographs, then form those photographs into a meaningful world.” - Paul Graham… In an attempt to equalise the exotic and the banal, this book treats every picture as if it were made in the same mystifying, flash laden universe. Reminding the viewer that this world Tallott has created is no different from their own, but that the surreal exists all around us if we look close enough. The work explodes with the spontaneous colour and complexity of life— tender, violent, lonely, joyful, bizarre. Fragments of narratives and surreal compositions that feel both ambiguous and personal, fractured yet strangely complete. Through the veil of noise, playfulness and the chaos lying within the thin, newsprint pages, This book feels delicately poised whilst visceral in its displacement of the viewer. Each tangible page offers a new set of questions. This publication is about flow and sequencing, with each spread of images in conversation with one another, all asking different questions.
