Lot Doms

Lot Doms seeks out the unexpected ways in which photography manages to confront reality with itself. Objects such as a chair, cupboard or palm plant do not occupy their usual place, but through manipulation, exploration and reframing, they take on a new and independent existence as subjects. Simple photographic interventions with light and shadow, close-up and perspective, chance and calculation, colour and frame, cuts and shifts... bring this kind of autonomous space to life in the work, one that can only exist on paper. During the creative process, Doms allows herself to be guided by the unpredictabilities that ultimately determine the legibility of the image. Subject and medium interlock and become tangible, as in Fruit: the high-gloss paper plays an equally sensual role as its subject.
