The Psychogeography of the The Right Thumb

This series is about examining and interpreting one single image; it is the scan of my own right thumb print. It’s showing you privileged views of being in the scanned image that represents me in many digital systems around the world. This body of work attempts to focus on: the identity, the code, the authority, the surveillance, the consent, the digital image, us as information and that information being an image.The photographs are not presenting you with facts or resolved opinion(s) but merely raising questions about our perception, about a single image and the use of an image (thumb print) that is very political in its own. They are newly generated geological, or topographical landscapes from my own biological information. The process of creating these photographs through the objective and logical approach in order to understand that single image (the right thumb) at one point ended up being a very personal journey like any other art-process but this time it was different for me. It was different because It was disclosing me and my internal space literally with every step of the way. The realization that such a simple indexical way of making an image leaves one with a prodigious amount of habitat to work in, just amazes me. This work is an attempt to give a glimpse of what we do not perceive.
