Baltimore-based artist Catherine Borg uses photography, video, and other media to reposition her audience within the narratives of recognizable cultural phenomena. Her work has been presented internationally, with exhibitions and screenings at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA; the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, MA; and the Contemporary Art Center, Las Vegas, NV.

These works are part of Borg’s project Scouted: An Inadvertent Archive from the Search for a Cinematic Vegas which appropriates and re-contextualizes materials from UNLV Special Collections. The images, originally created by location scouts, have been reframed to expand the archival record of Las Vegas to include life "off the strip" and to consider the labor and by-products of the culture industry.

Item Description:
A photograph of several snapshots of hotel room interiors lined up on top of a manila folder. The room in the snapshots on the left has striped walls and a white bath surrounded by red carpeting. The snapshots on the right depict the interior of a bedroom where the walls, floor, door, and bedspread are all patterned with the repeated image of a tree branch.
