Abstract
Through experimentations with light and its reflection, separation and reconfiguration
this project seeks to locate links between the process of photography and elements of
philosophy centred within metaphysics and epistemology. Drawing on the ideas of
dualism, analysis, synthesis and empiricism this project explores how photography
can contribute to the discourse concerning the metaphysical and epistemological
inquiries into the transfer of sense data, the development of knowledge, and the
relationship between the material and immaterial. It also maps and describes the
relationship between light and space through photography.
