This project was born out of a certain amount of frustration
with the false dichotomies imposed, at times, by current dialogue around
contemporary modes of representation – primary among these modes are, of
course, photo based practices. The tenor of these discussions troubles me, as
I’ve noted (what I feel) are unnecessarily defensive responses to inquiries
related to process and material, the status of the object, issues of
originality or authenticity, etc. Rather
than forming essentialist categories for analog or digital, or creating
distinctions between “straight”, found or fabricated imagery, why not consider
the very nature of representation and reproduction in an ontological manner
that allows for a fluid consideration between these seemingly opposing areas? Window
aims to serve as a site for such discussion.
