Gaze



(2009-11-05; 2010-11-17; 2011-02-03)

Originally, these photographs were explorations with sequence/time-event lapse. Somewhere along the way, I became interested in the power of "the gaze" (Lacan & Foucault). Soon, performance elements are incorporated into the investigation. Often the interactive element becomes a challenge between me and the subject. Do men and women react differently to a photographer, especially when they are strangers to each other? When the gaze is without permission? Whether the perceived sexual orientation of the subject/object affects the interaction?
