Laura Chen
Being Framed
Driven by mystery, this multi-layered body of work questions photography’s ambivalent status between fact and fiction within a narrative of imagined crimes, investigated by protagonist police detective DCI Dean Wilson. Presented as real evidence as part of a serious inquiry, photographs intermingle with collages, ransom note-inspired documents, newspaper clippings and archival materials in a dossier-like structure. Exploring the visual and dialogical properties of the overarching crime “genre” in relation to the mechanisms connected with looking and describing, I aim to make visible the similarities between artistic practice and criminal investigation by outlining the critical and stylistic abilities of the crime scene photographer to construct compelling observations from seemingly meaningless details.
