New photobook ‘Unsolved Puzzles Remain’ by prolific book maker Harvey Benge continues his exploration into the nature of things and the profundity to be found in the banal, the trivial and the overlooked. This is the first in a series of three bookworks, each produced in answer to an enigmatic title which on the surface means not much, but on closer examination is loaded with meaning.
Benge believes in the democracy of images where no picture can out-weigh another however he equally accepts that there is strength in numbers. This gives rise to the bizarre and unusual sequencing found in these book-works with strange narratives open to many interpretations.
