These are all examples of Burens own photography of his own works. Buren’s site-specific works create an event contingent on the context and environment around it. This also created a non-permanancy of his works as when they could only exist in a specific site for so long. Buren documents his works through photography, calling each documentation a “photo-souvenir”. The photo is merely a souvenir because its a single perspective of an occurrence. His photos are approximations of the actual event that was left, leaving behind a a fragment of what was actually there. He claims these photos are not meant to be copies of what was, but rather tools used to remind.
