visual psychoanalysis of controlled chaos
2022/2023
The ongoing photo series titled Photographic Experiments is focused on the control dynamic between the author and the observer in which uncertainty can be viewed as an openness of a piece of work (in this case - a photograph). As a visual artist, I view my field of control through the visual construction of an image, but the aspect of obscurity allows viewers to have a certain amount of authority over the photograph by incorporating their own personal material and making it familiar. I am quite interested in that tolerant space of control existing on both sides – the photographer’s work on one, and active viewers on the other. Deprived of an initial and clear context, the photographs provoke a certain amount of projection thus functioning similarly to Rorschach inkblots. Through uncertainty, I am exploring the tension that mainly highlights concepts of authority, aggression, and fear.
