Though historically and technologically adjacent, the photograph and scan are constitutionally different media, most so in their relationship to space: the former captures depth; the latter flattens depth onto a single plane.

Scanning Topographies uses the scan as a tool for documenting daily life, mapping a bedroom by stitching together images of its every surface. In so doing, it expands the time of the image beyond the instant of its capture.
