About

Powercry is a series of photographic portraits that cry ‘real’ tears which are mechanically pumped through the work. The work lives in a space between photography and video; the moving and the still image. Resulting in a very physical work, Powercry brings the subjects closer to our reality. The work looks at the relationship between emotion and self as well as the pressure on women even under times of distress. Please look at the crying girls and ponder over their sadness, annotate their motivations, transfix in their gaze. Please join them in this experience.
