is a documentary artist who uses the fiction of the photograph to challenge legally created realities.
Working within such a bureaucracy in his previous role as a human rights lawyer inspires his closeness to the document and brutally mundane. To him, the photograph and the law are both frameworks for negotiating evidence, belief and knowledge.
The performative element of these systems is best acted on the stage photography provides. By breaking the fourth wall, legal and photographic portrayals of truth can be subverted.
Documentary is a medium that often fails, so satirising its relationship to border regimes, the norm of the imagined nation state is questioned.
