Oral Intervention

20222025
Melbourne & New York City

Oral Intervention follows hands touching or entering mouths in public. The mouth becomes a vulnerable threshold where another person is granted access to the body’s interior.

The gesture can resemble care, examination, play, submission or control. The photographs show permission without explaining motive, allowing incompatible meanings to remain present at once. Repetition turns an odd encounter into a pattern without making it easier to interpret.

The series stays with that ambiguity. A mouth opens, a hand crosses the boundary and trust becomes visible in a form that can also look invasive. Everything beyond the contact remains uncertain.
