Concept
The unknown is what occurs in the transition between wakefulness and sleep.
Uncircuit is a photographic project that has evolved organically over the past year. Characterized by spontaneity and lack of constraint, it questions the depiction of reality and its presentation. It suggests new ways of looking at the world and seeks to move away from the ‘actual’. Almas reconstructs alternate realities around her environment, aiming not to adhere to connotations but to create her own understanding.
Performance is pivotal in the project, enabling Almas to invent new spaces that evoke vast atmospheres. Staging places theatrical figures within liminal spaces and alternate realities. Abstract objects and linear geometries within Almas’s mise-en-scène puzzle together, creating a new outlook on the world. The figures, frozen in movement, emphasize the boundless imagination of the creative mind.
