Research Point: Kaylyn Deveney
Kaylyn Deveney Born March 25, 1967, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Deveney relocated from the USA to Wales to study for me photography masters, when we started talking to Albert Hasting an elderly neighbour, these chat turned to the photo project and the project is a reflection of what she found out and observed about Albert and also how Abert saw himself.
Deveney provides a short essay to introduce the project this acts as a relaying caption guiding my perceptions and informing me that the captions on the images were provided by Albert, not Deveney. The project is postmodern as it allows the viewer to fill in the gaps as you view them you make an assumption as they why they are there. It also comes across like an Instagram account although it does predate Instagram by a good few years, again this lead to is postmodern nature.
Without its introductory essay, I doubt I would have fully understood what the project was portraying other than the daily life of an elderly gentleman.
