Reconfiguring A Thing Like You & Me
I am interested in pushing new approaches towards photography, wether that's through presentation, how an image is constructed, or re-photography. I believe that for the medium to continue on, it needs to address new ways of looking at and considering images; how they function in the 21st century. These works question the formal roles of a photograph, as something that needs to only be displayed in one way, a rigid way. The "Materiality" and "Object-ness" of the photograph to turn it into something new, outside of these constraints is something that interested me. One could say I'm trying to "reinvent the wheel", but all I'm asking is why not multiple views of the same wheel? is there even a "wheel" in the first place? Where is the truth in this medium and is that still important today?
