Works ︎Photobooth




(1981-Current)

This work reconnects to the earliest and available form of selfies – the photobooth. This is a body of work compromising of passport booth self-portraits which have been applied with painterly interactions. They investigate materiality, time, form, entropy, history and memory. They are motifs on the language of photography and preservation.  The original photobooth project was a reflection upon self-portraits made in the 70’s and 80’s and accessed from my family snapshots and my image archives. The project then progressed to use the photobooth as a site of performance activities that included current newspapers as a means to reflect current history back onto itself.

These are a series of contemporised self-portraits, which investigate time, form, materiality, entropy and memory and the language of photography and preservation.  The original photobooth images are self-portraits made in the 70’s and 80’s and accessed from my family snapshots and artist material archive.
