Connected To Somebody is a reconstructed photographic series consisting of screenshots taken from various online video chat rooms. It is a study of the sociological aspects created by this relatively new form of global interaction. I am interested in the way that people anonymously present themselves to a random stranger and when lines are crossed between public and private as well as emotional and physical spaces.

By capturing the oddities of reactions and interactions, I shed light on a subculture that reveals truths of the human condition. I recontextualize this digital landscape and create my own narrative based on the experience. I give up almost all direction of the image; the other person has complete control over subject, composition, and lighting. The webcam essentially acts as a window into their room.
