INFINITE REHEARSAL

Infinite Rehearsal is a series of allegorical portraits and staged situations. It is a collaboration between the photographer and professional performers, re-envisioning personal experiences within the privacy of the studio space. The events depicted here remain elusive and ambiguous. The focus lies on the non-verbal relationships between the figures, as well as in the tension that develops within their interactions. Impoverished communication mediated through phones and post-it notes is contradicted by gestures and body proximities. Intimacy and togetherness are challenged by dense remoteness and individualism. During this process, the roles of the photographer, model, narrator and performer interchange, in an attempt to fuse the personal with the collective. 

The work is accompanied by a limited edition artist publication. Fictional dialogues between the perfrormes and the photograper weave another layer on top of the photographic material. The pages and thus the sequence of the dialogues can be arranged in any order, creating new context every time. When the pages are unfolded they reveal a broad selection of the photographic work.
