Evan Hume’s art practice explores the intersection of abstraction, photography, and secrecy in the context of declassified government archives. This work began by researching photographs from Project Blue Book, the U.S. Air Force’s investigation into unidentified flying objects between the late 1940s and 1960s. The degradation of these images through photocopying and microfilm transfer rendered them abstract and ambiguous, undermining their evidentiary function. These photographs become a point of departure for grappling with the limits of photographic legibility and representation when recontextualized, recalling the negation of modernist abstraction.
