| In architecture, one of the byproducts of globalization is the loss of regionalism as a valuable commodity. My primary subject matter for the past eight years has been structural habitats that describe this myopic aesthetic of globalization that results from society’s reverent acceptance of new technology (newer is always better). In making photographs of these places, I am interested in considering a relationship to how the visual language of photography too is an accepted and generally unquestioned one. By making montages from parts of similar kinds of buildings, I use what is commonly considered a democratic medium to not only emphasize the general misunderstanding of the extent of mediation in photography today, but also challenge what seems to be an acceptance and democratization of the buildings in which we work and live. |
