the romance of strangers
During the composition of this work I was keenly interested in exploring photography’s functional capacity to operate a narrative line. Also, in how the medium, at its fundamental operational level, can produce an instantaneous output of reality, and how such reality is subject to issues of representation and interpretation.
By overtly juxtaposing small blocks of text with photographs in context I was further able to explore the relationships between text the written word and text the photograph, exploring ways in which to guide the observers interpretation. Whilst on their own the photographs may be interpreted as having al oose narrative structure, the deployment of a written accompaniment enhances the subjectivity of individual interpretation by identifying one single strand of interpretation from limitless potentialities of representation.
