Sight and the novel are central to my work. As a photographer, I see the way I do because of the poet Philip Larkin’s observation that ‘sun destroys / The interest of what’s happening in the shade’. My perspective is informed by certain literary narratives which actively play with time and point of view, and in turn shape the stories I tell and the photographs I take.
My work focuses on details which say much more than wide shots. The framing and compositions do not speak of the whole but bow down before quieter moments. I often think of my work alongside the unreliable literary narrator who is also God within the world she has created. My photographs, akin to the narrator, may appear to be all knowing but they are evidently not all telling.
My first solo exhibition “In Camera” is currently on view at Fabian Lang Gallery, Zurich, until 30 July 2022.
