The Sitting
The advent of photography popularised the portrait, it made the likeness more accessible, more scrutinized, it is the surface on which we assume representation. The portrait though, like the medium itself is by its very nature a contested territory of interpretations, it is a locus of the mediation of experiences and desires of those that participate in its relational structure, it acts as a screen in which the various desire of those involved are played out. 'The Sitting' operates at the confluence of the oft-conflicting desires and gazes of the camera, the spectator and the subject, interrogating the portrait as being analogous as a screen.
