In my artistic investigation, I look for ways to map and sense the everyday experience of being in space through the photographic medium; to create a reverberation between the embodied, cumulative, process-based memory, and one of the most elementary characteristics of the photographic image: the transformation of four-dimensional space into the two-dimensional picture plane. With this project, R, I have been thinking about how this act of flattening, of compressing experience into a plane visual language affects our understanding of embodied experience. R is a sort of reaction to Alberti’s idea of the aperta finestra: It is, at the same time, a journey through the surfaceness of photographic seeing, and an attempt to trace a performativity of living within this limitation through scratching and sketching, through tearing space off of time to an infinitive distance like an inmate scratching the days on the wall as a reminder of the passing of time, like an inmate scratching the days on the wall as a reminder of the passing of time. The sense of urgency here is to find a way to decompress this constellation of flattened gestures. To sense images as spots on a score, and bring them back to the duration of our being.
