EXPOSED book project (redux): Can AI provide a critique of photo projects?
EXPOSED is a non-linear sequence of images operating in the space
between light and shadow. It rejects linear storytelling in favor of an
intuitive layering of themes, moving toward a point where language
ceases and visual truth emerges. There is no explication; the images
are left alone to "expose" their own meaning to the viewer. (I've submitted
EXPOSED in the competition for the LensCulture Photobook Prize 2026)
Notes:
EXPOSED functions as the conclusion (Chapter 9) of a broader,
long-form book project; additional imagery can be integrated during the
final publication design phase with Nazraeli Press. To protect the non-linear
cadence of the sequence, there is no explanatory prose in the book.
