Aberration interrogates the tipping point between fiction and reality in our hyper-mediated world. In reclaiming the aesthetics of television narrative — through experimental photographic processes that takes their cues from how memory operates — the viewer is enveloped within a visual sensorium of (re)coded language. Appearing familiar, yet unfamiliar, what emerges from the transformed narrative is images that arise from and dissolve into each other to form a second order reality. Both memory and witnessing are called upon, as the affective power of our shared visual culture is examined.
