Abstract

This visual essay presents my journey of coming to experience and conceive photography through the lens of non-representational theory. In the light of non-representational notions of landscape and embodiment, photography is more than an aesthetic and representative medium of one’s outer and inner seeing of the world. Rather, photographic practice can be ‘a perceiving-with’, that with which the new camera-I (eye) sees, and the expressive photograph becomes embodiment as body a-where-ness. This journey of photographic artmaking and conceptual speculation has taught me to live photography as a set of creative tensions between self, camera and the world instead of merely using photography to express and represent one’s life.
