Contrapposto

Jakob Perrett uses his late Opa’s (grandpa's) film camera alongside his own modern DSLR to create layered photographic works that blend analogue and digital, past and present, memory and re-imagination.

The works explore how objects – both personal and inherited – can anchor and disrupt the narratives we craft about ourselves. Through this, multidimensional realities are constructed where emotions, memory, and the queer experience can be seen, felt, and reimagined. What happens when we look at the past not as something fixed, but as something still unfolding?
