MA Photography
My practice revolves around exploring the photograph as a physical material. Repositioning the photograph from its two dimensional property to the three dimensional. The transformation of the photographic representation establishes a flux that constantly transcends from photography to sculpture and sculpture to photography. The fluid subjectivity of the photographic imagery is carefully considered so as not to steer the work in any particular direction. Images usually selected vary between abstract, figurative, literal, appropriated and staged. As much as the subjectivity is varied, the materials used along with the photograph are also mixed and varied such as foam board, wood, metal and glass. Dealing with pictures in their transformed state creating a link between the physical and the metaphysical, removing classification and conventions, defining space within each work and between the various installations. My practice essentially tries to facilitate new possibilities to establish a spectator-art relationship, where the spectator takes the central position of giving meaning and form to the work. www.keshavprasad.me
