Nothing here's set in stone

  • Alex Gale
'Nothing here's set in stone' seeks to question our understanding of photography as a visual medium. I believe as viewers we are conditioned into how to perceive and understand imagery. This series aims to exploit this our reliance on the photographic medium as a representation of reality. Using digital manipulation as a creative tool 'Nothing here's set in stone' presents the viewer with a level of uncertainty when viewing the work. Once we view the work and struggle to understand, this prompts a self reflective viewing process in which the viewer can then see what they want and expect to see when looking at imagery. This reflection on the conditioned process needs to be questioned and I aim to provide the audience with a refreshing and curious viewing experience.
