Matthew-Robert Hughes
(30 years old. Born in United Kingdom. Lives in: London)
London College of Communication
my graduate work, This-Has-Them (2007-2008) is a project that is focused on the photograph itself as an art object, its time-based properties, and its effect upon the subject. Most importantly, This-Has-Them visualizes the embalming nature of photography. I believe that this creates a shift in power for the discussion of representations of the self within the photographic portrait as an art object over that of an object of social exchange. The title, which is a play on words of Roland Barthes’ This-has-been (1980), refers to the three elements with which I am concerned. This- the photograph as an art object, Has- the embalming properties and the effect this has upon Them- the subject matter. I have created one-off and unique hand made c-type prints. I believe that this mode of production establishes the print as an art object, and gives this object full control of the subject within.

Work of art I would like to make
My proposed project would be an extension of my current practice both visually and conceptually. I intend to photograph contemporary subjects, people, objects and landscapes both urban and rural. The idea being that these particular subjects in 25 years time may no longer exist through the impact of environmental change, global warfare, economical change, and the increase of new global diseases.
Visually I will work into the prints of these individual subjects, playing with ideas of their absence in the future. By where the surfaces of the subjects are discernable, but there being an emphasis of the duration of the subjects as they move through time independently from the photograph, slowing disappearing and to be forgotten.
It is the medium of photography and the object that is the photograph that became a material document of the past, bringing what was contained within it in to the present. Photography’s processes I believe have the ability over other art form’s to illustrate a more accurate representation of reality. We use photography as a tool to document things and to aid with memory, embalming the past of subjects, objects, events and places.
The process I will use to document my subjects will prevent what we all hold photography to, its ability to help us remember the past. Photography theory of its relationship to the past is often seen as morbid, it is my final intention to use it to extend this melancholy to that of our own future.
