Artist Statement
I am interested in exploring the
relationship between the photographer with the
audience as well as investigating the way the world is
presented outside of the picture frame, after the
moment has been documented. I use mirrors or live
cameras in my work to show the gesture of the
photographer’s body, in order to to emphasize the role
of the photographer. In doing so, I shift the focus
point of a photograph, exploring ideas of ‘what can
exist beyond the image’. Taking photos is a
performance, and the photographer performs as an
invisible presence. Photograph as a documentation
appears only for the audience, but I am interested in
showing the agency of the photographer and their
surroundings. I believe that photographing is about
the photographer and the environment as much as about
the subject and the medium. The photographer uses a
camera lens to document their own perspective,
becoming a very honest performer, moving with
intuition to find the perfect angles to press the
shutter.
