Where is the line between photography and performance? What is the difference between a self portrait and a document?

Chase M. Munsey is a photographer and sculptor working closely with analogue practices, emphasizing the space between permanence and memory. Munsey uses photography as self-exploration, looking outwardly-in, trying to find a familiarity in all subjects. The first five bodies of work consist of over ten-thousand negatives, exploring the life and light that subsists inside great cities. Munsey holds a BFA of photography & BA of art history from Western Washington University; and is currently exhibiting new work in Northwest galleries. Interested in the visible self and the document, questioning the dynamicity of identity and the ways in which it can be preserved.

Interested in what takes place at the intersection of physical experience, memory, and materiality.
