Loss in a Simulated Environment
My three-dimensional photographic works reintroduce absent subjects – those that can no longer be seen nor exist – back into collective consciousness. Challenging the perceptual distinctions of traditional photography, in these works mappable territories are defined through positive and negative space, thinness and thickness, forms, edges and undersides. The research informing the project connects three-dimensional photographic technologies with propositions for future personas, politics and loss.
