––I start to say something, get interrupted, start again. I have a message. A message about the inherent slippage of power that comes from being looked at but not being seen.––

In Third Window we aim to open up layers of perception to make palpable the feelings of danger, shame, eroticism and alienation that arise from being objectified. By photographing each other, we create a collaborative dialog to interrogate the dynamic between observer and observed. At times Photography is used as a vehicle to strip women of their agency. But what if the women in the photographs, however encumbered by their lived experiences, are something godlike and unreachable? Our photographs are morphed from a dream-like projection of an internal female world onto the hard facts of the built landscape–with a window serving as a transparent membrane between the two. By re-photographing a photograph taped to a window, we throw relationships between interior and exterior, near and far, public and private into disequilibrium. The resultant images challenge notions of authority, perspective, and permanence––notions inherent to the nature of photography itself.
