Glimmer - James Bellorini: Photographer & Visual Artist

Glimmer (2022 - ongoing)

Digital photographic images. Food items, found objects, mirrors etc.

This photographic series explores personal narratives of belonging. Including those of migrants and third-culture people. And how those narratives become part of the land itself. Accepted and absorbed by it and adding to the history of the land around us.

I often use found items, food, and other artefacts in my work. This comes from my fascination with the 17th Century art form vanitas. For this body of work, I placed the items in the landscape and left them to the elements for a period of time. These were then photographed in situ. I used mirrors as surfaces with which to play with space and focus.
