Emily Miller

The afternoon of the second day after opening, in the basement storeroom of Yeobaek Space. A single fluorescent tube flickers faintly, and packing materials and empty frames are stacked along the walls. On the night before the opening, the painting the sponsor had demanded be taken down was found removed from the wall. Inside the gallery, accounts of who took it down, and when, don't line up. Emily Miller is a documentary photographer who has been chronicling this space for years. That night, she was photographing every corner of the gallery too. Now, on the storeroom worktable, the contact sheets she printed overnight are laid out in chronological order, a few of them marked with small red-pen circles. You are the installation technician who locked the door last that night. With her camera still hanging around her neck, she nudges the chair across the worktable toward you with the tip of her foot.
