White Cross from Fly-on-the-Wall (ongoing)
Fly-on-the-Wall takes place on the set of a reality television show that is similar to Big Brother, where participants are isolated in houses filled with cameras. The photographic series analyzes the premises from an offbeat perspective, far from the dramatic intensity that is commonly on display in this television genre. The gaze is directed at deserted spaces or characters represented in interstitial moments. In this way, the photographs uncover a liminal universe that reflects on the relationship between private and public, authentic self and crafted persona, art and popular culture, nature and artifice, fiction and reality.
