Gentleman Jamie House

Jamie House is an internationally exhibiting artist, Camera Obscura builder and educator. Jamie’s work explores how we look at the world through representation by critically analysing the medium and apparatus of photography. Employing a range of alternative processes to the latest digital imaging techniques. Image production and dissemination are at the core of Jamie’s practice. Jamie’s recent project `stranger` sets to show the viewer how we share and store images on-line through social networks and image sharing websites. This project is a result of Jamie producing images of other people’s memories that I have mined from the internet on various social media sites. These people have befriended me online but are not people I have met in person. Each image is produced by a long exposure focussed on a computer screen while browsing a stranger’s social media images. The resulting images are layers of images and time within someone’s life. Selected exhibitions include: 2011-Aperture
