TalkSeePhotography

TalkSeePhotography’s January event will see Catherine Cameron present sources and methods of her practice.

Cameron works with very large format staged black and white imagery, contextualised by Dr. Berit Ås' theories of Master Suppression techniques as played out in northern European protestant cultural hierarchies of unchallenged authority, to examine internalised concealment and shame.

She works with natural light and presents the images in repetitious material and settings. Through this method of mirroring the repeating nature of the subject matter she aims to transcend the indexicality of analogue photography and create new visualisations of reality. Integral to Cameron’s practice, the works' process open up a discussion which will allow us encapsulate contextualisation and materiality of the public and the private in ways that we rarely get an opportunity to do.

Catherine Cameron (1962, Oslo, Norway) lives and works in Glasgow and received a BA (Hons) Fine Art Photography from GSA in 2013. Her work is widely exhibited and included in museum and private collections globally. She received R.G.I’s Exhibition Award 2013 and is nominated to represent GSA for ReGeneration3–2015.

TalkSeePhotography is a monthly event with presentations by international and national photography practitioners, curators, and writers. The event is designed to facilitate a scene for critical dialogues within and across subject matters. The unsaid and repetitions both engender practice, therefore the aim is that no question should remain unasked however difficult it may be to articulate.
