hashtag_nofilter
Rather than using this social media residency as a platform for showcasing art created outside the medium or as a lens on an established practice, hashtag_nofilter directly engages with a fundamental aspect of the Instagram app—roving photography.
I am particularly interested in photography as an expression of visual sensibility—a fleeting crystallization of perception that frames and responds to an aesthetic moment. By exploring the surroundings of Ōtepoti through a phone camera, I seek to capture strong abstract compositions through close observation of the subtleties of light, color, shape, line, and texture.
This project will be an attempt to work with purely aesthetic forms within the inherently ideological landscape of social media.
