Carly Seller
By documenting locations of recent drowning incidents that have occurred along the coast of Cornwall, this work examines the conflicting relationship between the horrific and the romantic. Aesthetic appreciation is key to our formation of emotional attachments towards places, yet aesthetic pleasure can only ever be fleeting. For a place to be compelling in ways that move beyond aesthetic appreciation it must have a history of human tragedy. These timed exposures, which relate to the time of exposure of the body to water when drowning, allow for brief moments of contemplation. The ethereal quality created in the images hint towards the pleasurable feelings brought about by this fatal experience, creating tension by representing these powerful, dangerous seas as dream-like surfaces.
