Dissection
This series is an extension of the Body Archive and represents the metaphorical extraction of an image from it's body. In a similar fashion to the way one might dissect the corporal body, these images are dissections from the whole of the image body. I explore the body as a site of experience, and the body as both repository and author of information. In an attempt to develop a documentary self-portrait without bias and point of view, I place a light sensitive emulsion, sans camera, on the surface of my body to record my actions. The images are created over time: minutes, hours. The resulting photographs are the striking visual residue of my experience: traces of body fluid, clothing, skin prints, and the fine edges of body hair become evidence of my occurrence. I live in a body and my body is an archive, my skin the surface through which I experience the world.
