MARGARET MURPHY | FUTURE PASTS, PAST FUTURES

BLOODY BLOOD ORANGES is a photograph from Margaret Murphy’s series “I Could Look at You All Day", made in 2020. The project consists of self-portraits and still lives made in Murphy’s home. The pictures visualize her interest in self-perception, consider the male gaze and play amongst social media’s influence on contemporary photography.
John Berger writes in WAYS OF SEEING, that a woman must simultaneously be both "the surveyor" and “the surveyed” because how she appears to those outside herself is critical to her success in life. Murphy’s photographs ask how this concept—and internalized misogyny—shapes the way we understand ourselves in the world. The companionship of still lives and portraiture in the project invites the viewer to survey moments of intimacy, reflection, disgust, celebration, and ambivalence within the world of Murphy's creation: a woman in flux between the standards set before her and the standards that she inherently feels exist within her.

<meta charset="utf-8">ABOUT THE WORK Using text-to-image AI software, Margaret Murphy imagines non-existent landscapes inspired by the photographic works of historically significant artists such as Ansel Adams, Stephen Shore, and Robert Adams. The works of these revered photographers capture specific moments in natural and cultural history. Murphy’s interpretation of Adams, Adams, and Shore through photo-realistic artificial image creation hypothesises the way we may view and understand our world in the metaverse as a fusion of both pasts and futures.

Desert View

Having grown up on the Internet and everything that comes with it, Margaret Murphy’s art speaks the language of online culture. Her brightly colored and aesthetically accentuated photographs and AI works encourage dialogues that are mostly led on social media: Murphy creates images questioning gender and the male gaze, beauty standards, and self-perception, while also exploring deeper recesses of memory and identity.

In conversation with Nora Partl, Online Editor, and Anika Meier, Murphy discusses self-portraiture and identity, image-making and AI, memory, and nostalgia.
