Synchronicity

Melbourne & New York City

Synchronicity begins with alignments the street briefly arranges: unrelated bodies, signs, colors, gestures and structures falling into relation for an instant.

The camera records juxtaposition, but the project is concerned with the point at which formal coincidence feels significant. Jung’s idea of synchronicity offers a way to name that experience without claiming that the city has intentionally produced a message.

Each photograph holds open where the connection resides: in the world, in the mind recognizing it or in the encounter between the two. The series stages the passage from accident to meaning without deciding whether that meaning has been discovered or projected.
