FRACTURE ANALYSIS (ongoing)
—Fracturing time and space for a new embodiment
During the decisive moment, if the pixels fall out of alignment as photons measured by the sensor, the camera either makes up the missing information or skips that content. I explore that particular moment when change has a chance to occur, a crux, a swerve, a break, and an interruption breaching towards a direction of new a calibration. This piece is part of Fracture Analysis, a larger project looking at conflicting visions on identity.
With the deliberate misuse of my iPhone camera, I am looking at these decisive moments through the representation of the human body and its shift into a new embodiment. Can we imagine the self outside of established social constructions, one that doesn’t calibrate to a constructed history, but instead steps outside of the limiting rules of space and time? What are the limits of posthuman imagination? Limits of the past? Ancestors?
