December 2020 – January 10th 2021 My ways of seeing have been cultivated via this constant exercise of filming my environment. Or more so – choosing aspects of my environment to film. My stance on photography is inviting the audience to the mindspace behind your eyes, to see. Iteration I: I juxtaposed audios and videos together,… Continue reading Pre-laborate: a recap

Therefore I would stage the hypothetical hunt, instead of running it live. The hunt consists of 3 puzzles and 4 layers, each puzzle leads to the following layer. LAYER I… Continue reading Investigate : crafting the outcome
