Nothing for Me centres on redefining the masculine/heterosexual dominance of modernist and not-so-modernist structures and spaces, and presents and realigns it with a sexual minority and citizens who would never have access to these forms of architecture. By utilising the language of modernism that created clean, clinical spaces, free of interpretation, this photographic series counteracts the seemingly accepted view of modernist design and continues my interest in how society continues to humanise modernist/minimalist theory and practice to reflect an interpretation of the individual relating to identity and sexuality.
The photographic works consist of images of my father in front of his house. These images were taken over several years, starting in 2011, and are an ongoing project. Each image is juxtaposed with a famous modernist house.
