Thesis title:
As a multimedia artist based in Nottingham and Berlin, I research human-machine interactions in photographic production facilities.
Through hands-on exploration and exposure of sensuous practices in the production of photographic realities, I claim that the photographic image becomes a co-produced subjective sense-making event that is more than visual and more than representational.
My posthumanist perspective challenges the dominant image of photography as a fixed object of visual representation. Led by sensory fieldwork and deep aesthetic analysis, my art practice is experimental. Ranging across installations with video, printed matter and photographic paper to participatory art and addressing topics such as displacement, deep matter and feminism, I have exhibited regionally and internationally with group and solo shows in the UK, US, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. I was awarded the prestigious Attenborough Prize 2015.
