Incarnation
Incarnation

Projects involving Incarnation & Resurrection. Conceptual, physical, or virtual embodiment.

What does it mean to have a body? A human, corporeal, “fleshvatar” body? A robot body? An avatar body? A virtual body? Where is the locus of persona? Of identity? Can it exist in a body that is no longer living? In a counterfactual body that was never flesh?

Are there moments, or patterns that repeat? Do a 16th-century murder and damnatio memoriae still matter? Are there things still to be put right? Lessons for our time from another time? Fragments of life to be celebrated?

Magazine Cover Reperformances

For the entire life of photography it has been both an index of the true, and a highly mediated experience. Ansel Adams called his darkroom manipulations “fixing god’s mistakes”. Magazine covers often express heteronormative Western values and impossible fantasy bodies. In this series I attempt to twist my not-so-flexible body into the shapes found on a range of magazine covers. I use Lightroom to dodge & burn and to adjust color & contrast. I do not use any Photoshop magic.
