Trapped
This was a small project that I set up myself during the summer holidays (2007). Basically, I’ve noticed that a lot of technology these days is created with the desired function to catch, hone, hold, store or capture. Utilising this, information and above all fact. I wanted to try to express capture in the purest sense. Now, I could have simply taken a photograph or recorded a song, or I could have even used my own recollection to store something. However, I thought about storing my image on a recordable device and then re-recording it with another to see what would happen.
As I have said it was a relatively brief project and, I feel it is something I could look into in the future. I used ‘broken’ technology to record my image. This gave the desired effect of me being captured or ‘Trapped’. I then decided to capture myself again by taking a photograph of the image on the original device so the image could move on, yet still remain in its original context. I then took a further photographs on the original device and used the same method for each to discover what would become of the image, which became less and less distorted each time (which I did not expect).
Imagery of Distortion to original
I have always liked how images could progress to a place or point that at first you could never see them going.
