Charlotte Tegan is a PhD candidate and sessional academic at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane and is currently researching Ambivalent Entanglement and the effects of digital connection and isolation on creative capacity in contemporary photomedia practice.
Often working with analogue photographic methods, film, plastic cameras and experimental processes, Tegan investigates and explores methods of seeing and viewing, and how perspectives change depending on the devices we use to view.
Pursuing a somewhat humorous and hybridized style of social documentary photography and fine art, her works examine the ways in which people interact with technology and artefacts, and the ways in which our digital artefacts interact with the world around us, as if with their own agency. It is through this constant reflection about our place in the world that Tegan hopes to offer a glimmer of self-understanding through visual communication.
