The Dysco series considers the point where information disintegrates into hypnosis. It posits that photography is hypnotic in the way it orders space.
Specifically, an individual piece in the Dysco series consists of a photo of an empty nightclub interior cut through with patterns made up of architectural elements and patterns.
The cutout silhouette collages are shaped like vortexes that enhance the focal point which is already embedded in the photographs. Thus the Dysco images suggest that photographic perspective is hypnotic.
Fundamentally, Dysco is about photography; about how the camera as a stand-in for the eye ends up conditioning vision itself.
