HIATUS
This project began by exploring the space of different hotels in a variety of places from London to Dublin. The more I photographed these spaces the more the project developed into a study of isolation. I pushed myself to go on a journey for ten days, travelling to different hotels. The ten days represented both a literal and metaphorical journey. I discovered a whole new world in the space of a hotel room. The hotel room became an odd space the bed my haven, with it also being a focal point for my photographs. Within the images I wanted to capture a sense of yearning and a feeling of ennui; to put myself into another world. The work also reflects a gendered space. A woman waits, alone, vulnerable, isolated, and yet connected to the world outside via mobile and broadcast technologies. She waits and watches. |
