24 Absences is a mini fold out series of photographs taken during the process of changing a blown up newspaper image by drawing on it with charcoal and chalk. As one of several similar works which are part of an ongoing project, this project was recorded on super8 film as rough animations in July 1999. The original photograph showed a survivor inspecting the remains of her home, south of Belgrade after a Nato attack in which 24 civilians died. It was taken from the front cover of the Independent newspaper on 10.4.99 jmellings@plymouth.ac.uk
