Hannah Cotter
My art practice centres around photography and self-portraiture, using slowed shutter speed and long exposure to create blurred features. The scenes of my photographs shift between domestic interiors and abandoned outdoor spaces. The decay shown through sequences align with the interest of fragmentation. My work focuses on how we watch ourselves and watch other people watching us, examining the dynamics of observation. Being the subject and the creator of my photographs but not being completely seen or recognizable exposing the tension between visibility and invisibility, Through this performativity, I aim to expose the vulnerability inherent in the female experience, The constant expectation to perform for the ever-present gaze. Delving into fragmented representations of female identity, questioning how we are seen.
