FEATURING AMY BASSIN

This week we are featuring the artist Amy Bassin and her work "INTERVENTIONS".

In "INTERVENTIONS" Amy takes photos that were taken in one city and places them in another city, exploring what is real and what is perceived.

In this work she is exploring the following questions:

What is contemporary digital art and photography? What is photography? What is real and what is perceived? If we manipulate photographs with digital technology, is it similar or different than 'staging' a scene and photographing it? Is photography that 'documents' the 'world' really a documentation of what exists or is it all in the photographer's manipulation of the tools they are using (the camera and in the developing). Isn't the process completed and the meaning in the eye of the viewer, regardless of the artists intent.
