The
Underneath series is a collection of photographs captured by placing
a camera underneath everyday objects and within ordinary, household
enclosures. The camera withdraws into the deepest, darkest corners
and peers back through them. In the course of this simple gesture,
the camera becomes a surrogate for the self.
The images present a study of the desire to see without being seen; anxieties from being looked at, and the safety in being hidden. They document the undersides of cabinets, pipes, and other everyday spaces that usually remain unseen. Yet while these places are often layered with dust, dirt, and grime, they are also empty. One is hiding alone within these claustrophobic spaces, waiting and looking. The shroud of deep darkness is pierced by blinding light, each of which seems equally unknowable. |
