Sunless

Sunless is a stream-of-consciousness sequence of photographs that I display as diptychs or in book form, created in the initial months of the pandemic, and made into a zine in 2021. I photographed portions of my computer screen as it displayed my own old photographs, as well as photographs found online. I wanted to give these images another life within the confines of quarantine, to find meaning in their details, and to capture them in a way that echoed the sense of strangeness and disconnect which I was feeling at the time. Zooming in close to the screen and what it displayed, I rephotographed within this contained space as though it were its own landscape, embracing the interference patterns, low resolution, and subtle color that resulted.
