every... page of Susan Sontag's Book 'On Photography'
A dense, layered photographic work in which Khan has digitally superimposed every page of Susan Sontag's seminal text *On Photography* into a single image, creating a dark, almost illegible accumulation of type. The result is a haunting chromogenic print that transforms the written word into an abstract visual mass, simultaneously evoking the weight and totality of Sontag's ideas. The flush-mounted format enhances the work's sleek, monolithic presence, inviting viewers to contemplate the tension between legibility and obscurity, knowledge and its limits.
