This publication explores an unsettling identity, taking
inspiration from research on the uncanny, surrealism, distortion and collage.
The rough edited photograph scans, which were created based on a variety of
photographic manipulation research, intentionally possess a grainy and raw
quality, as this reinforces the disconcerting tone of the publication. 0 fills
eighty-two pages, which demonstrate a gritty alternative to fashion photography
and illustration, turning a common subject into a thought provoking images. 0
was selected as the title because the publication contains neither an original
image nor a full portrait on the subject; despite the fact the identity is the
sole focus. This hardback publication has a pure and minimal aesthetic with a
uniformed, chaptered structure. As 0 presents destruction and creation of
identity, the chaotic imagery is purposefully contrasted with the methodical
organisation of each chapter. The tactile nature of this publication creates a
personal experience for the viewer, allowing not only one but two senses to
interact with the tone of the book.
