		History is the collective memory of past experience. In the ongoing series "Place and Time," I photograph staged pageants, re-enactments of incidents (legendary or real) in American history presented in their original locales. My interest in these events--aside from the obvious visual appeal of the extravagant theatrics--is to underscore their quality of mimesis and déjà vu. Though my photographs represent a constructed reality these pageants would take place regardless of my decision to photograph them. In doing so, I am collaborating with chance, portraying events suspended between history and imagination.
