MONOLITHIC RESEARCH MONOLITHIC RESEARCH Decades long curiosity with the monolith as a symbol, object, animistic, pragmatic and esoteric functions, the comment on the Montparnasse structure in Paris summarized what the monolith is: the disappearance of the self through observation of all that surrounds.

CISTERN CAPSULA: CISTERNS, 2017, Film exposures arranged as a horizontal monolith. Photography and subjectivity are seemingly inseparable, and the question of using the image as a document or proof of interior experiences contains slippages drawing lines between narratives and proof.

The darkened environment contains moss, a staircase, Japanese style bridge, stone arches, and affective tonal lighting.
