The Next Way of Working
This body of work draws on the author's personal experience, having worked in large service companies for many years and thus gained an in-depth, insider's perspective on the corporate and social dynamics that inhabit these places.
The proposed work is a reflection that explores spaces, their inhabitants, the connections between new workplaces and the social structures that inhabit them, and the shape of the city—past, present, and future.
With this work, she seeks to interrogate the fragility of ourselves as human beings, of places and objects, and of the immanent that remains beyond constant transformations.
She particularly questions the void, what remains when background noise is absent and reality emerges unmediated.
People reveal themselves only in portraits degraded by the photocopier; they are signs, traces, like the objects and words revealed to us through the use of a scanner.
Corporations, as expressions of humanity and the form it takes in a given time and place, embody and express all the tensions and contradictions of the contemporary world and share with us our ephemeral destiny.
The images were created using hybrid techniques, contaminating photographic technique with the use of tools "found" in the places depicted, such as scans and photocopies.
