Part of Photomonth 2016, this project raises questions about the proportion of authority in collaboration, the quality of spontaneity and the interchangeability of power and trust.
About
This project is a collaboration between artists Moé Sekiya and Jordanna Greaves who met whilst studying MA Fine Art / Photography at The Sir John Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design in 2015.
The project raises questions about authorship and the creative impulse. It started with a spark of a chemical reaction between two people who have experienced different life paths and cultural backgrounds.
In the collaborative process they suggest, share, respond, impose and reciprocate with one another in order to find something they never expected, more than could be achieved individually.
Working collaboratively also raises a question about the authorship in art. The proportion of authority in their collaborative work varies, yet they enjoy, and are interested in, the quality of spontaneity, the interchangeability of power and trust.
