This study is a demonstration of the possibility of removing oneself from making certain decisions relating to the photographing and representation of subjects / objects within our environment. Certain objects can be generally overlooked or go unnoticed and this work attempts to highlight them giving their elements and fragments equal importance. The method that is used is mechanical and an aleatoric selection of areas that become subjects, with the use of dice, stopwatches, maps and rules. Selecting areas by chance methods minimizes the artists aesthetic decisions and challenges preconceptions about the notion of beauty whilst transforming random areas of the earth’s surface, allowing them their own language. These methods could possibly re-educate the way the viewer sees, hopefully opening their eyes to fragments that are overlooked, by accepting and not retracting and keeping the viewer completely open to new undiscovered aesthetic sensations, presenting only reality itself. Within the study I have accepted all aspects of reality and presented them transparently. I make art that does not exclude anything as a potential subject and by selecting the sites randomly every inch of the earth’s surface is granted equal significance, capturing the truthful simplicity of the subject and allowing us to rediscover the world we live in.
