In the re-shuffled time of this series of composite photographs called Crowded Fields - play prevails over the competition, the stands are empty and the fields are full, whole games are shown out of sequence. Pelle rearranges the archetypes of sports into new patterns. He tends to think that the narrative of sports - the struggle on the way to victory - is too simple to be interesting. On the other hand, Pelle has heard of sport contests referred to as manufactured meaning, and that seems kind of remarkable. Pelle often feels, as he is working on these pictures, that he looks so closely that somehow he understands something about the heart of the world. Not true, of course, but Pelle may know something about how a photograph records something.
