vibrations approaches the utopic through its vibrant, fantastical colours which sometimes bleed into abstracted, humming, fluorescent space. The non-human and inanimate matter within the photographs are imbued with a kind of energy and begin to “vibrate”, transforming into something more than mere objects. I attempt to visually and affectively suggest the dreamlike, alternative, liminal, fluid, in-between space of the “semiotic chora” (Julia Kristeva 1982), a space which exists outside the patriarchal Western hegemony of Man and challenges the totality, harmony and integrity of the symbolic order subject (Liu 2004, 26, 28, 29) as well as the agency of the non-human and objects theorized in new materialist thought.
