Description

As a collaborative and open-ended exploration of a photographic archive, via a variety of multimedia art forms, Moore’s research interrogates assumptions concerning normally concealed processes underlying the production of realist works or documentary. In this respect, the research relocates the photographic images in the wider field of contemporary art, using the conventions of verbatim theatre and immersive environments to critique documentary production within the
images. Moore calls into question the certainties of representation by using methods articulated within photography in an expanded field (Soutter). This includes the development of a Brechtian device that places the photographer as a character within the work, and by making Lisa and John, the original subjects, active agents in the new project. 3D work also further disrupts the documentary paradigm through the inclusion of the ‘photographer at the scene’ within a museum like diorama. Collaboration in documentary practice is usually thought of in terms of working with subjects in the moment of creating the images. Instead, Moore’s project uses collaboration to disrupt and re-explore past work, and creates a future space for research, revision and reinterpretation of archives. Lisa and John has been exhibited and performed in Belfast Exposed, The Mac, Belfast, London Gallery West, and other venues.
