‘How am I not myself’, is a series of chiefly large-format portrait works. The images are produced ‘in camera’, using a self-developed technique. I take multiple exposures of the sitters in motion, whilst interrupting the digital camera’s processing of the image. The camera collapses separate moments onto one another.
Unable to fully translate the data, colors and shapes shift into varied chromatic effects. The camera adds its own agency to the outcome.
All sitters are close friends I love and respect, each bringing their character and vulnerability into the situation.
I consider these works materialisations of relationships. Records, of all designated things constantly exchanging, influencing and working inseparably together.
Sites of encounters in a space beyond logic.
Thank you for your interest!
