At home. Photographing myself within an arm’s length distance. Hand-held camera, pointing the lens at myself. Can’t look through the viewfinder on most of the occasions. Lack of control over the composition. The preliminary intention may or may not actualize itself.
In the series Arm’s Length Principle, I position myself as a photographic subject under a predetermined set of rules, investigating my bodily presence within the confines of my home. In this context, I am both the observer and the observed, though the gaze is not solely my own; rather, I relinquish some control over it. The camera serves as a third eye, offering me a perspective that is both unfamiliar and partly uncontrolled.
