The manual nature of photography has allowed for a shift in the consideration of what can become a still-life. Photography continues to employ current methods of presentation while incorporating both symbology and classical imagery. Today, photographic process allows the studio to function similarly to the camera. The studio acts as an interior situation, where scene creation and object placement occurs via the photographer. These functions reinvigorate the relationship between the camera and the studio, forming an interchangeable relationship. Third Party Gallery’s December exhibition focuses on the shift in current modes of representation in still life photography. The reinstatement of the photographic medium involves a practice in which the studio takes on the role of a laboratory, releasing the controlled elements and conditions of a traditional still life into a more experimental engagement. Through this exercise, current practices in still life photography create a myriad of relationships between objects and the represented image, while continuing to challenge our perceptions on the nature of image making.
