There was debate over whether i should have installed this project again this year for erotic art week. Dave said 'Why not, bitch?'. Richard said 'I feel that moment is sorta over'.
In the end the beauty of the idea of 'An artist exploring a work over time, even years' won out over the fear that maybe 'People might say you can't come up with anything new' and im glad it did.
An inquiry into the new phenomenon driven by our intensifying ability to exchange and circulate self images has driven an inquiry into one’s ability to capture and present one’s image and present the self as one wants to be seen.
In the context of Trinidad & Tobago’s Erotic Art Week 2009 and 2010, Rodell pushed this inquiry into the realm of how people imaged themselves as erotic, and how willing they might be to share these images. He created “the Photobooth”; a small, temporary studio space that provided visitors with privacy and a remote control that triggered a stationary camera. With their signed permission, the images that participants captured of themselves were exhibited to the public the following night. “the Photobooth” will now become a touring installation work.
u can read more about photobooth here
and see more pictures here and here
this is a link to a related post; last year's introduction of the project.
soon as i update my site with recent work, i think i'll upload more. and can i do a book? and a show. i feel they're necessary. a lot of these pictures are just sitting on my drive, doing nothing.
