idea / the exploration of locations through performance in relation to the camera

Melissa Moore 'Know the edge' is a series of self-portraits made by photographer Melissa Moore in 2004. I was inspired by her work as she uses clothing that is recycled as she uses the clothes of people who have inhabited the spaces. Her images have a very playful feel with the way she positions her self on top of furniture and with the decorations of the rooms. Her work is centred on the exploration of locations through performance in relation to the camera. In every image the whole of her figure is never revealed due to the crop used and with how the clothes conceal her identity. The way her images are staged capture the relationship between body and architecture.
