Skene is a word taken from ancient Greek and literally means 'structure that supports the background in theatre’ as well as ‘seeing and exposing'. As a part of my project I have been photographing contemporary versions of skene structures, which are crucial for plays or performances to happen and at the same time remain invisible to the public.

In ‘Skene’ I am interested in exposing the multiplicity of physical dimensions of structures which govern our sensory experience, creating symbolic language which addresses the distribution of power within the state and the subversive value of lens-based practice. As part of this project, I am also interested in the potential of the photographic mode of enquiry to function as a mode of deconstruction.
