Over the past year I grew to be infatuated with the concept of invisibility, a theme I have incarnated through the use of subtle, minimal imagery thus far. The photographs focus on the banal and the commonplace, the under appreciated and repetitious details of my physical location. Though my greatest influences come in the form of revolutionary movements be it Dada or The Weather Underground, my current work is very much contrary to the historical notoriety of these groups. Rather than focus on culture’s digression, the absurdities of war or the general social climate, I’ve concentrated on the obsession with quiet, loneliness, the self, anti social expressions and sentimentality. By recording my perspective of invisibility with the camera, I further understand the ailments I possess. Not that I view the camera as a healing mechanism, far from it, I just see it as a means to communicate my thoughts through the paradox of assigning an abstraction to an abstraction; once again returning to my revolutionary influences: the anti-art of Dada and the peaceful violence of The Weather Underground. |
