Sleepwalk : Black and White Photography

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Sleep walk is a project started in 2016 that I continue to work on, its a reflection on living in a world of suffering not being able to distinguish truth from illusion, living in the waking dream, unable to awaken spiritually. This project has many iterations and deals with the subconscious's ability to associate memories with images.

When being viewed consciously, photographs exist in a dream like space devoid of time, telling a story without beginning and end. Just as a song you've heard evokes memories with associated feelings you've forgotten, photography evokes a sense of place that exists in seeing. Discarded fragments of modern life are monumental surrounded by living things, there are traces of life and death on their surface that echo an unknown history. Life gyrates with death in subliminal spaces where everything is obliterated and recreated.
