We Are All Romantics and That is Fine

A CONSTRUCTED CONTEXT… The image of our present is a stone-cold, inanimate, non-existent, fizzing thing. It is perfectly suited to a life of duplicity. Today, the image appears far more comfortable flitting across a screen than being fixed in a frame and hung from a nail in a museum. Better to live fast and die young than suffer the ignominy of achieving some fixity and then watching the world grow and move on without you. At the heart of this identity, the image of our present is increasingly surrendered to the subjectivity of the observer. This act of distortion opens up alternate readings of the individual image based on the ambiguity of the intent of its author.
