The New Dialectics of Seeing

Photography is a persistent reminder of the division between how our eyes see versus the way the lens sees. This places us in the uncomfortable position of asking which is the dream — our perceptions of the world or the world captured in the photographic image? This kind of philosophical question on seeing, and its implied world-making, attract me to the photographic medium.

The moving image feels like the mind wandering to me. So my videos sit in the liminal space between reality and the dreamscape; between waking and drifting off into sleep where sound warps and fades. From this liminal space, this new video asks what have we done to water and air?
