Annija Muižule, a Latvian born visual artist and researcher currently working and living in The Netherlands. While obtaining a major in Photography my work radically shifted from telling stories through images, to telling stories about images being made. More and more confronted with the overwhelming amount of visual information, I began questioning human capacity to comprehend the visual culture and, most importantly - how visually literate actually are we? Hence, by reflecting on photography as technology & medium and a form of communication I make an attempt to 'un-learn' and question the lessons photography has taught us. With aggregation of imagery in different forms and expressions, I capture the world of illusions and mediated consciousness controlled by visual information.
