"I'm hungry"
"Let's go out for lunch"
"I have some work to hand in"
"Well..."
"It looks like it's going to rain"
There are various selves.
There might exist in a past those selves that were not selected at
that time .
They might be on their own now, maybe.
Maybe somewhere, your self, completely different, exists—but it's
not really your self now.
In theater, there is a style known as "monodrama." It usually
involves just one actor, playing one character. I began with this
method but I decided to push it further. I wanted to explore the
meeting of many such singular selves.
What kind of world would it be, where there were many singular
selves, together? I was curious.
This project incorporates graphic design and theater into my usual
photographic practice. I wanted to harness the expressive power
of theater in a still image.
Remember, there might be a past out there that is different from
"your" now. But that's because those other selves were not
selected. Your other self might be in its own "now", somewhere.
Maybe somewhere you are completely different—maybe
somewhere you are not yourself...but a different self.
