Silent Witnesses (2023), scannography
They have witnessed the ultimate closeness of two people, their insecurities, fears, and pleasures. Through the art of scannography, we were able to create a sense of voyeurism, allowing the viewer to peek into the intimate moments captured by the objects. Shaky visuals allow us to engage with the images on a more emotional and subconscious level. Was it merely a pleasing performance dictated by pornography?
