dc.description.abstract | abstract The purpose of these pictures is to heal and process, through sitting and looking at people as they are. I want to understand how I was unable to recognise myself due to being recognised through a system, and how this harmed me, and I am making the claim that this harm affects memory and manifests as the ability to forget one’s face. The image making process involves allowing the participants to choose their own spaces, a process informed by my history with being unable to do so for my own images. I believe that having control over one’s performance/presentation and visibility allows the body to heal and remember itself. I am asking Black people, who I know and will come to know, to approach me when they are ready, in order to create memories worth remembering in an image. | |
