 <\/p>\n

Set & Setting<\/em> is a narrative series of works, shot entirely in sets that I have built. Each set is a story, dealing with various global phenomena. Refining a story, by\u00a0 building and decorating sets, opened a new method of working for me. It was both playful and liberating to create an environment and scene for the story to take place in.<\/p>\n

Using myself as a model, I could integrate performance in to my images. Set & Setting<\/em> often uses a naive and comical approach to tackle more in-depth points of view. With the chosen thematic, I find it helpful to invite the audience for participation, letting the viewer imagine their own version of the story. The ambiguity is essential. In the end, the way we see any story unfold, varies greatly depending on how we see the world.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m intrigued by the fact that the audience can see past the obvious, the set. They can create their world with given pieces of the puzzle. My interpretation of the story is always present, but not forced upon the viewer.<\/p>\n
