VCA ART 2020

Levi Franco

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography)

I make work that examines the roles of different professions in an endeavour to create scenes that question whether the work is a documentation or invention. Inspiration is drawn from the working roles of different people, as well as my own memories and experiences from working in different jobs over the years.
These roles are explored by removing the subjects from their traditional context and then placing myself in their position.

The scenes created extract the environment of the specific venue or workplace from its primary situation and place it inside the gallery space in a state of transposition. The gallery space then serves as a platform for performance.
