“If images can provoke thought, they can provoke a radical consciousness”

Basic Principles focuses on the culture of competitive ballroom dance, characterized by rules and codes that structure and make sense of performances and performers alike.

Through the use of collage and repurposing of material, the purpose of the original images, to showcase individuals and performances, is subverted in order to foreground the structuring forces within which such performances become relevant.

These images act as a microcosmic representation; reflecting wider society, and the forces to which we are subjected in our daily existence.

This work aims to awaken the viewer into a radical consciousness in which they can gain further understanding of the social environment they exist within.
