to enter the space one had to go through the photograph
Photographs are essentially the materiality of a past reality, though when looking at them, the realms they invite us into are incredibly present. I see them as doors for us to open, so that narratives emerge, creating inner travels within the mind. Photographs are illusions but still, it is the most natural response to believe in their realness and dive into them.
Disrupted photographs, conceived as fluid matter, escaping from settled expectations, are on display. They are staged to be passed through, moved, observed while their potential meanings are shaping with you.
