AARON FARLEY – CONSTANT CHANGE
2015-06-22Farley’s all new work, just as his popular folded series, furthers his expression of manipulating the medium of literal photography to arrive at his own version of an image. By manipulating the lighting and continually shooting and reshooting, lighting and relighting the photographs take on a distinct life of their won. Often, the work moves deftly from 2D to 3D space and back to 2D creating a multitude of layers in the final outcome as a conceptual treatise on his perspective of the lack of truth and the malleability of a photographic image.
“In the past, I wasn’t completely comfortable showing straight subject based photography. It didn’t feel like the whole story for me. I realized that seeing the evidence of other artists’ processes would take me further into their work and I was only showing my eye, not my process. In my work I am telling the story of the process of my photography, from production through reproduction to the display. I’m interested in pushing the line between photograph and object. With digital photography, the moment is gone by the time the image is recorded, making the photograph solely a file for reproduction. There is no original,” says Farley
