Yasmin L Jones creates post-photographic objects that explore how images embed themselves in our society and psyche.
Jones has previously explored this through the lens of surveillance capitalism, examining how the image we create of ourselves becomes consumable for others and imagining the actors at play in this system. These ideas are considered through data-driven installations that reimagine images as active in their need to be reproduced.
More recently, Jones has been investigating how the self is intertwined with images. Questioning to what extent images and perception are bound by our bodies, and what systems can affect this.
