Chimera presents an assemblage of structures, staged and archive imagery, that allude to the search for two mythical beings, the French Tarasque and Greek Chimera. In constructing these scenes for the camera, the artist’s performance presents a fiction by bringing together fragments of mythic stories found in archives of local history and folklore. Configuring a narrative from the fragments, one is struck by the chimerical nature of photography itself.
