Laura Larson

The assumption of objectivity that continues to haunt photography—the desire to trust our eyes—is a central concern of my work. Mining the intersection between documentary and poetic practices, my work poses questions about the medium and its terms of representation: its materials, histories, and social meanings. While I identify as a photographer, my work encompasses film, video, digital media, and writing. I see my photographs as a product of my skepticism and desire to believe in the medium of photography.
