Rhona O'Brien
Photography's success and appeal to art institutions relies heavily on its materiality, when in fact the medium's explicit form hinders its potential for a full conceptual identity. My work establishes an affiliation between content, form and presentation and moves through various methods of spacial representation, always aiming to return to the photograph's definite 2D form - highlighting its inescapable material nature. First generation conceptual art is an important point of origin when analysing photography's function/acceptance within art historical discourse. The work from this period relates directly to the ontological concerns that are contained within my own photographic practice.
