Artist Statement
In 'UNTITLED' I blend the margins of photography, painting and film by creating video stills and transferring them into the realm of photography. But my interest goes beyond media boundaries to include those between the self and the world.
I used to photograph people who were alone, unobserved and lost in thoughts. People do not appear in ‘Untitled’, yet they are present. To me these works are like scraps of faded, blurred memory, transferred images, sombre remains of past events, echoes of my family's history, outposts of memory.
The images operate on a twilight terrain, in the unutterable sphere between image and fantasy. They are distorted and surreal - it is the fragmented, oscillating image I seek. They are a chimera, a flank against the self-confidence of the photographic image, a tribute to ambiguity. And an invitation to the viewers to find themselves within them.
