Context & References
Situating the work within a broader field
This section situates the work within a broader cultural, intellectual, and experiential context. It does not aim to establish influences or affiliations in a linear sense, but to outline a field of resonance—where artistic practice, perceptual inquiry, and contemporary visual thought intersect.
The work engages with questions that extend beyond photography as a medium. It resonates with phenomenological approaches to perception, with reflections on the image as presence rather than representation, and with critical positions that challenge the neutrality of technical apparatuses. Thinkers such as Merleau-Ponty, Vilém Flusser, and contemporary research in neuroaesthetics provide points of reference, not as frameworks to be illustrated, but as parallel inquiries into how images are experienced, inhabited, and sustained over time.
Within this context, the image is approached as a threshold: a zone where material processes, perceptual uncertainty, and attention converge. Concepts such as noise, grain, ambiguity, and instability are not treated as defects to be corrected, but as productive conditions that activate perception. This position aligns the work with broader discussions in contemporary art and visual culture that question speed, optimisation, and overdetermined clarity.
The architectural background informing the practice also plays a significant role in this contextual framework. Space is understood as a sensitive structure shaped by light, duration, and movement. This spatial awareness extends to the photographic image itself, which is treated not as a flat surface but as a constructed field—one that the viewer enters perceptually rather than simply observes.
Alongside its conceptual grounding, the work has been articulated through exhibitions and public presentations that situate it within specific cultural and geographic contexts. These moments of exposure are not endpoints, but extensions of the research—occasions where images encounter viewers, spaces, and rhythms different from those of their making.

These exhibitions form part of an ongoing dialogue between images, spaces, and audiences. They reflect the work’s capacity to adapt to different formats and contexts—gallery spaces, fairs, institutional settings—while maintaining conceptual and perceptual coherence.
Context & References therefore functions as a point of orientation. It frames the work not as an isolated practice, but as a situated inquiry—one that remains open to dialogue, interpretation, and continued development across disciplines and contexts.
