ABOUT THE INTERVIEW

Heatwave by Gerwyn Davies (Australia)

Heatwave is an ongoing inventory of characters that are assembled, worn and staged for the camera in an expanded and performative approach to image making. Through the layered act of dressing, the body is used as a platform for reinvention and transposition, slowly concealed through disparate materials while gradually revealing an ‘Other’. Exploring photography’s potential as a prolonged and highly plastic performance, Davies looks into the possibilities of the contrived photographic image.
