Bio:
Non-Identifying Social, Genetic Report is a project concerned with the relationship between identity and fiction. Culminating in book form, it started as a search for my birthparents based on non-identifying information I received about who they were. From this information, I paralleled my birthparents manufactured lives with my own. As the project evolved, I continued to find significance in the influence of fictional elements over factual information in structuring such a narrative. I saw this as the result of my own subjective processing of emotions and eventsnot unlike the subjective rendering of the original report I received by those who constructed itderiving things considered true, who you are, what you stand for, from connections based on projection and myth. For me, the story I told of adoption through a palimpsest of photographic images and fragmented text of the report became The Story.
David Schulz lives and works in Brooklyn. Some of his other books include Travelogue and Variations of a Fall, the latter of which is presently on exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art as part of the Open Spaces exhibition.
