Abstract

This is a photographic thesis that developed out of an ISP completed in January 2012. My main interest for this project is in exploring the different ways photographs relate to each other. More specifically, by creating pairs of images or diptychs, I aim to create compositions that will 'open up' for viewers, functioning in a way that proves different than photographs conceived and displayed individually. Additionally, throughout my thesis work I use images of my environment together with images of people in motion to explore the ways movement affects us by stirring memories and stimulating new feelings. I had many artistic influences, including Wolfgang Tillmans, Rinko Kawauchi, and Nicholas Nixon, among others.
