Room In Which I Work

Evoking the life of Nicéphore Niépce, one of the pioneers of photography, The Room In Which I Work explores how the invention of the medium was also an invention of language. At once biographical and personal, factual and fictional, Seguin's debut collection not only provides a unique look at Niépce's life, but investigates how photography has provided lasting metaphors for how we think, write, and talk about what we see. Combining original photographs with poems that range through history, chemistry, collage, dialogue, and lyric, The Room In Which I Work is a singular meditation on language and image.
