Camus Wyatt
My practice examines the connections between thought and place, our perceptions and our surroundings. I primarily work through photography to explore the effects of memory and time in liminal spaces, informed by history, interpretation and materiality. I am particularly drawn to the possibilities of change and chance, unplanned moments and the delicacy of ordinary life. My work is often in an area which has been termed ‘lyrical post-documentary’ photography, observational but less concerned with narrative than with feeling, and involved with the connections between the medium and the world.
boundaries of being, 2014-2021
I had been experimenting with the ability of the camera to infuse simple scenes with a touch of surrealism when my father died suddenly at home in early 2017. boundaries of being is a series centred around this event and a photograph I took of my father shortly after his death. The photographs presented in this observational series reflect uncertainties about the relationship between perception and reality. They are an immersion into the ability of photography to make new visions out of the apparent ordinary-ness of things.
