Lindsay Seers

Lindsay Seers (b. 1966) works and lives in London. She creates highly personal narratives, which interweave concepts of philosophy, science and photographic theory into work that charts an ongoing investigation into how cinematic and photographic technologies shape us. These narratives are punctuated by incredible plot devices that mimic the rupture at the heart of image production, creating a dramatisation of selfhood in all its melancholy and failure. By re-casting photography/film as an act that actually creates experiences rather than records them, or as David Burrows describes it in Human Camera, by creating ‘an indexical process that is transformative’, the boundaries of photography in her work are truly extended.
