Laurianne Bixhain provided the text below written by Chloe Chignell in conversation with her photographs. ”I am preoccupied with ordinary affects. I am not interested in the depths of my own experience. I work hard to stay at the surface, to keep my head above water, breathing, as they say. This takes practice. I repeat gestures again and again, to understand their ordinariness. In case a gesture would rouse some kind of affect higher or lower than the ordinary, I slow it down or speed it up to empty out its depths. To know that a scream can be illustrated by a sequence of repeating ahh's is comforting. What remains is a partial thing, remembered. My face emerges from something thick, from something glowing. I give almost a profile, but I do not permit myself the full angle. I will not turn my gaze. I will not clarify my face. I will not sharpen my edges. I will not be your subject, nor your foreground. I will be an eternal intermediary. My movements are an unchanging drift. I reach towards becoming a perfectly rehearsed ambiguity, like the curtain that falls behind and yet still covers. What remains is a blurred thing, shining.”
