2019 - ongoing
Exhibited as part of Badespasstotal Summer Symposium - Hurky u Nove Bystrice, Czech Republic Aug, 2020
This ongoing series questions the photograph as the beholder of memory, the digitally manipulated photo acts as the optical unconscious discussed by Walter Benjamin simultaneously creating and destroying one’s mnemonic experience.
The first collection is informed by my travels throughout Australia, a place I called home for five years. Being connected to a place, and eventually making the decision to return‘home’ is always a challenging experience.
My photographic archive became the place in which those five years are constantly re-enacted, changing shape and meaning with each view in a way that is uniquely unrealistic, even to the one who has experienced them.
