I'm interested in exploring a different type of photography and in a dynamic critique of photography as a machine for cultural production.
I start from the idea that photography, despite its historical form as a method for producing a particular kind of social truth, has also created one type of universe, one type of view of ourselves, that, while externally humanist in its application, has now also enshrined in that process a rigid view of all of reality.
With its recent coupling to the internet both commercially and creatively, and as the most likely form of expressing ourselves online, it has also morphed itself into the quintessential machine for reflecting a view of our inner selves as part of the everyday.
What appears to be lacking, however, is a critique of these limitations and how that rigidity can be manipulated to produce manufactured versions of consent and conformity via the familiarity of likeness.
