Dorothy Sing Zhang – Like Someone Alive

$110 AUD · In stock

Sold by Perimeter Books, Thornbury

Dorothy Sing Zhang unveils a compelling portrayal of humanity’s vulnerable state during sleep. The scene is set in the bedrooms of others. One is asked to be asleep, a squeeze cable release is placed under the pillow. The chance of one’s unconscious body rolling over and triggering the camera results in an exposure. Like Someone Alive expands these boundaries by withdrawing the traditional relationships between the photographer, the object and the camera. About five years ago I was trying to realise a way where the approach towards the trigger would somehow be directly reflected in the image.
