| Abstract | My work consistently investigated the notion of different public/private spheres within our society and the way these spheres do or do not intersect. I am drawn to a type of image that reveals the separation of social groupings. More often than not covert photography requires total concealment of the camera. It is frequently associated with trespassing and other transgressions of the mores of society.; Toward the end of 1998 I began the project Screen Test (Drivers) using a fixed camera apparatus mounted in my truck. The camera is set-up to duplicate my rear view mirror perspective as a driver. By doing this I devised a means to preserve the visual encounters I have within my rear view mirror at intersections all over Los Angeles. I operate the camera under assumption that I am documenting a phenomenon of society commonly known as "car culture" with the basic idea that we depend on automobiles for our very survival in the modern city. In the making of these pictures I have reinvented my practice as people watcher and, in more cases, as voyeur. As a conceptual project I have systematized the recording method of photography. |
