Two Walls
Two Walls (2017)
Two Walls explores a personal experience of disassociation and looks at the act of photography becoming an extension of that experience, reappraising analogue concerns such as pronounced grain, selective focus, movement and gesture. Dissociation can be defined as the disruption of consciousness, identity, memory, physical actions and/or the environment. Through the use of everyday objects and materials, they are removed from their primary context and used to highlight a distance which functions equally between both photographer and subject and camera and subject. Through performance, the idea of concealment and revealment play a critical role within this relationship formed with photography, the images produced can be seen as indexical signs that testify to the moment that the camera was in the presence of the subject, and the relationship formed through this.
