Reconfigurations

‘Reconfigurations’ is an unbound album of black-and-white figure studies that unsettles and reimagines the conventions of nude photography. Made in the private spaces of back rooms and apartments, these images present bodies as sites of distortion and desire, pulling the viewer into an act of looking that is at once intimate and estranging.

The work draws on Surrealism’s fascination with transformation and dislocation. With a split-field lens—which holds two distances in focus at once—the photographs fold the body back onto itself, collapsing nearness and distance, the sensuous and the grotesque. Each print invites the eye closer, only to shift it toward the uncanny.

Comprising 18 unbound prints, Reconfigurations also recalls the history of the artist’s portfolio. A velvet-black cover conceals its sheets, loose and unsequenced, urging the viewer to touch, reorder, and recompose the work. The portfolio becomes an instrument of secrecy and revelation, one that continually remakes itself.
