OUTSIDER
This is based on the foreign gaze as an outsider moving through different urban landscapes. This one is the first in a series of Camera Walks. The camera is the device that mediates, records and captures the sight stimuli between what is outside and inside my body. My curiosity lies within myself as a stranger even to myself. I am interested in the ways I am affected by the outside world and so I capture the outside world as raw data.
The sound added is my ‘native’ sound. It becomes a way of marking territory as the ‘other’ in a new space.
My gaze is my entry into another space, it is a visual contact and penetration that through the recording device acts as a pseudo colonist having come, captured and taken the recording as an artifact for the viewing of others. My gaze is everywhere all at once; my gaze is without anybody’s permission.
