As time
progresses, factual accounts of history are not always preserved from the pollution
of personal inaccuracies. My work deals
with this idea through documenting the existence of re-emerging objects from
the past within a space. Through disorienting
the space I choose to photograph, I illuminate the void between objects or
places and their association to an assumed yet unknown history. Not only is a connection or disconnection of
a set of relationships questioned in my work, the invisibility of a space between
time itself is blurred. I am interested
in de-bunking common positions of photography as being a medium concerned with
achieving the utmost fidelity with truth telling. Arranging objects within a given space
creates a tension between the viewer’s assumption of the environment having a
natural, sublime order and the manipulative role photography has. By altering the viewer’s perception, I create
staged narratives, inducing a loss of certainty and peculiar distortion. My images of space serve as a visual still suspending
the viewer into an expansive space allowing interpretation of the given
environment. My photographs transform cognition
of space or recognition of objects into a subtle yet surreal emergence of a
past memory instigated by the Freudian theory of triggers. Mediating between objects of recognition and
the uncanny form a new recollected memory.
