In the words of Maria Stepanova, a diary is a series of proofs that life has continuity and history. Stemming from my grandmother’s habitual act of diary keeping, When it Rains has developed into a long-term investigation into the this behaviour. Through this
practice-led research I ask; What is the value of human perception in a world of increasing mediation? Is their ‘clarity’ in the ambiguousness of human perception? Should images, distinguished by their ability to represent the world in ‘clear’ detail, determine how we navigate lived experience? During this two-week
residency at Futures, I have collected both material and ephemeral traces of my experience to illustrate the potential of looking with photography and to broaden my own understanding of diary-keeping.
