The Space in Between
Unknown video block. We only support Youtube or Vimeo
Contemporary practice rejects the notion that a portrait can tell us anything beyond a surface appearance. Diane Arbus described a portrait as ‘the gap between intention and effect’ as a way to consider the truth-value claim of the photograph. This sentiment can be applied to a visual representation of friendship, where the interaction between the photographer and their subject helps determine the honesty of an image.
The Space In Between uses still and moving-image to explore the physical and emotional space shared by the subject and photographer. Space is used metaphorically as a way of nurturing vulnerability, responding to the stigma of men talking about their feelings. This project reflects on an entangled personal history through a series of conversations.
