Evie Woollett is a theory-led visual artist whose work explores the effects of social and historical changes within museum collections. Her latest work (The Blind Winder) explores the collection’s potential to become reactive to their wider social meanings and usages. This includes updating data on provenance, which is an often neglected piece of data, but is integral to understanding the collection document as a socially salient object. The work follows a specific photographic history (Emil Otto Hoppé’s The Blind Winder) demonstrating how museum collections can embody this idea of a reactive archive.
