#4: Passage
I am interested in how we exhibit, view and
mass-produce images of each other and how these often carbon
copied representations become individualized by the effects
of time. I explore the depictions of people and why such renderings
make me feel uneasy given my belief that everything that we
are looking at is in some way distorted. I do this through photographing
displays of humans, captured as in-camera montages of layered
media we are surrounded with in public spaces. Often what I am photographing has been presented as an idealized
form, whether within magazines, advertising or even family history.
I look towards the decay, deterioration or manipulation of this
romantic portrayal, finding a fascination with the distinct
lack of control we have over what happens to the images over
time. |
