From Gem Fletcher’s interview with Pia Paulina Guilmoth and Jesse Bull Saffire for DAZED:

For the past seven years, Pia Paulina Guilmoth and Jesse Bull Saffire have been scavenging photographs within a 60-mile orbit of their home in rural Maine. They’ve climbed through abandoned houses and dug through a politician’s discarded gay porn collection. They’ve hunted through yard sale leftovers and even discovered a junk shop beside the waterfall. Among their treasure is material both tender and grotesque, mundane and uncanny. Every image is then scanned on a beat-up Xerox machine they found in 2024, sitting in the rain outside the fire department that lives in the middle of their living room. The result is Fishworm, a photo book published by Void that rearranges a scrambled history of rural Maine and transforms it into a visual guide on the ephemeral condition of living.
