SOPHIE
Every night I ask her a question. Every morning she replies and asks me one back.

You show me yours I show you mine.
I have brought up 9 disposable cameras. Every day, I will give away one camera and with my own analogue camera take a roll of film, physically taking note of each image. The person I give the other camera can do the same. We schedule to meet a day later and exchange the films we've taken.

Experiments with Jo Bannon

I met Jo in 2013 after being an audience member in her one-on-one performance Exposure. We planned to make a picture together inspired by this. It's 3 years later and we've finally done it.

Whilst on the train up to Edinburgh from London, I read over some records of being detained and refused entry on the way up to Edinburgh from Singapore in 2014. This was the year before the 2015 UK General Elections.

Red Like Our Room Used To Feel by Ryan Van Winkle

Mamoru and I talk about how the standardisation of the camouflages the photographer's subjectivity.
Two pairs of human eyes look at a flat image on a screen, what we see is virtually identical, yes our eyes may take different journeys around the image but, there is no third dimension to create angle or a different 'focus' (i.e. depth of field). We look out the window onto the street and we are certainly seeing different things.
What is the space between what we see and our experience of seeing?
How can photography make transparent its manipulation? (Perhaps similarly to the nature of the transparency of illustration)
How can the language of live performance destabilise the 2D tropes (?) that we have come to see as an objective reflection of our behaviour?
