Theme Thesis
My thesis should serve as an in-depth artist statement whereby I interrogate and attempt to deconstruct the methods, processes and motivations of my artistic practice. I plan to situate my practice within a broader social and artistic context referencing texts on contemporary (expanded) photography theory and other artistic practices. Presented in a photo book format I would like to have chapters that investigate different aspects of my practice (analytical language) interspersed with autobiographical entries (informal language) supported by a lot of visual material. Although I am attracted to the idea of producing a purely analytical essay I ultimately feel that a report on my research and practice will serve me better and be more useful for my short-term future aspirations.
Possible chapters:

• Duration & Time
• Journey & the Landscape & being Elsewhere
• Photomedia (Light-Space-Time structures, expanded photography and the rejection of Post-Photography)
• Materiality and beyond the analogue/digital binary
