FLOW: Embodying aesthetic experience through process-based analogue photography
This heuristic investigation uses process-based analogue photography to embody my aesthetic responses to life experiences. Informed by theoretical readings in cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, psychology and art, the research aims to harness the merging of body, mind, lifeworld and artistic practice to not only challenge the truth value of photography but, most importantly, materialise my intent and authorship in and as the artwork.
