I constructed a real world space to take these photographs.
This
work came about due to my long-term doubts about the visible
world, and my desire to test these doubts.
Throughout this creative process,it is critical for me to have total
control over all aspects of the work, including the motif and the
shadows.
By creating my own space, I can construct my own reality within
that space and convert it from a three dimensional view to a two
dimensional view through my photographs. Through this process,
I am confirming my own reality.
The Room 2 group of works is taken with my handmade pinhole
camera and uses long exposure times.The question for me is
whether the world that we are used to seeing is the real thing, or
some sort of artificial construct.
Photographs, which are an artificial creation, are used here to
record an artificial reality that I created. My goal is to go back and
forth in the narrow space between these real and artificial worlds
and, in the end, to find my own world.
