Untitled #46 from "Stories"
by Jessica Bruah
My "Stories" project first began at Columbia, when I became interested in
somehow merging my major with my minor. I was looking to create an bizarre,
fantastical narrative within every image. Each photograph contains an
anonymous character, seemingly unaware of the lens, whose face is never
shown. Although I am playing the dual role of photographer and subject,
these self-portraits do not concern the notion of self but rather the
constructing of a separate fictional reality. Every image is carefully
assembled by myself, aided by costumes, props, studio lighting, and posing.
All these elements, along with the manipulation of a view camera, help me to
bring a surrealistic and often amusing quality to the images. For this work
I tend to inspiration from various sources, including film, the books I read
over and over as a child, and the occasional random object I almost miss on
the street.
Untitled #46 from "Stories" These prints are created using archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper with a luster finish. Our quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the images, not the printed image itself. We do not alter the aspect ratio, nor do we crop or resize the artists' originals. All of our prints have a minimum border of .5 inches to allow for framing.
