digital print—2015—work-in-progress
By presenting bodies in conflict or harmony with their natural or digital environment, I aim to render visible the transparent layer of discipline that bodies are subjected to through performance in daily life. By presenting familiar images of consumerism in an alien way, I am placing emphasis on the visual culture of material and the aesthetic conditioning that it facilitates. Bodies and minds, like terrains are palimpsests that read stories of privilege or marginality. to visually represent the conditioning of bodies, I am leaving a trace, making it uncomfortable to navigate a privileged environment with ease. this series was made in collaboration with Veronica Aronova.
