With plausibility and the ‘truth’ of the<br />
photograph in mind, my work explores the<br />
trajectory of current digital images and relations<br />
to past photographic technologies. I investigate<br />
how the wide accessibility to digital<br />
photographic formats and post processing<br />
techniques may be shifting the relationship that<br />
the contemporary photography image has to its<br />
historic past.<br />
In an attempt to engage the viewer in deeper<br />
sensory clarity I am working with optical<br />
techniques such as stereopsis and threedimensional<br />
image generation. This not only<br />
provides the illusion of an image literally<br />
growing beyond its two-dimensional plane, but<br />
also creates a single amalgamated image from<br />
two mutually exclusive p<strong>art</strong>s put together within<br />
the eye of the viewer. Through this I aim to lend<br />
a unique and temporal nature to the image.<br />
Furthermore, I am investigating the use of<br />
moving imagery in place of standard still images<br />
found in such stereographic displays - forcing an<br />
older medium to produce new creative<br />
pathways. The bringing together of a 19th<br />
century viewing apparatus with a contemporary<br />
digital viewing platform establishes<br />
contradiction and facilitates constructive<br />
dialogue of image making, media and<br />
technology.<br />
