politics of everyday immobilities, and how one\u2019s identity is reconfigured when the restriction of movement, and the reconfiguring of \u2018home\u2019 spaces becomes acute. Created during the covid-19 pandemic, within Victoria in Australia, a place that had one of the longest lockdown periods in 2020, these self-portraits reference both the trauma and privilege to stay \u2018safe in place\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Utilising Kerilyn Schewel\u2019s definition of immobility as, \u2018spatial <em>continuity<\/em> in an individual\u2019s centre of gravity over a period of time\u2019 (2019, para. 3), this photographic series reveals the movement seen within the place of residence, and how the individual\u2019s orientation shifts within the boundaries of the home.<\/p>\n<p>Critical to the self-portraits is the portrayal of the body within the photographic compositions. The body becomes performative and with its different shapes, shifts and orientations within the home space provides a sense of heightened emotions. Within each image, feelings of liminality, grief and endurance are present within the surrounds of the everyday, mundane and peculiar. Moving between rooms and emotions provided new patterns of micro-mobility, while \u2018normal\u2019 mobilities outside of the home were restricted. Within these new micro-mobility journeys, a refiguring of identity and expression of self was formed.<\/p>\n<p>The series engages with the self-portraiture photography genre, an area that is continuous with my artistic practice for over a decade. The series as a creative process became a method to continue. Turning the camera onto oneself, is an act against the normal subject \/ photographer gaze, and within this lockdown environment the performative gaze of myself looking into my life, rather than situating my body within an external environment was a critical shift. The home became a place where I was listless, lethargic and highly agitated rather than normal associated comfort feelings of being \u2018at home\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><em>Self-portraits in ISO<\/em> presents a subjective-artistic experience of being \u2018safe in place\u2019. The immobility of continuing within the home environment enabled new spatial reconfigurations of the space with one\u2019s sense of identity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Reference:<\/p>\n<p>Schewel, K.
