The camera is an excellent tool that can be used to document events in life. But what is the camera doing to the person using it? Buffers are placed between the artist and the subject, power is dramatically shifted from the viewed to the viewer. How can I truly document this event in both Claire’s life as well as my own without documenting me? Turning the camera on me shows all the hidden details of the event left out; my struggle with the disease, my love for Claire, my frustration with the ongoing artistic process. This is a true documentation.
