Kate Potter
Potter’s oversized photographic portraits of ordinary cats are a challenge to our preconceived notions of animal photography and of portraiture itself.
The subjects are photographed according to various conventions of photographic portraiture, playing with the deadpan genre of the passport photograph and the questions posed by the portraiture of Thomas Ruff and Rineke Dijkstra.
Potter’s Portrait forms part of an ongoing investigation into the intimate relationship between the camera and its subject, a relationship of power, challenge and intrusion.
