Black Doors

"Black Doors" unlocks the portal between private and public space. Through this project I have exposed our hidden communities by asking my neighbours on Queens Court, Clifton, to pose for my camera on their doorsteps, in the same way they would normally exist behind closed doors.
This portrait series of people standing in pyjamas in front of their apartments also raises issues related to social relationship and identity. By means of presenting my images as a whole, without any identification except the apartment numbers, I have highlighted the way we see and place ourselves within the twenty first century society. We have become apart of a superficial and electronic network of communities, alienating those who live in closest proximity to us, preferring dehumanising substitutes instead of more direct, less mediated human contact.
