In Rooms Artist Statement
January 2006. Room 45. 3:30 A.M. I was eighteen years old, alone in a run down hotel room with a man I barely knew. While fastened against the wall listening to the shutter click and the film wind, I fell in love, highly aware of his gaze behind the lens.
It was then I took notice of the intimate space between the photographer and his subject. For years I served as the muse to many; I entered room after room, disrobing, letting these artists, men and women, look at me, project onto me – see through me. All this time these artists observed me; yet I too observed them, and their craft, ever so diligently.
I have always been haunted by these memories, these rooms, thinking of the intense intimate connections isolated through the entrance and exit of these spaces and how these experiences mirrored my own unstable image of my identity and sexuality. In creating an intimate portrait in the context of a private room, there is something unsettling, unnerving – a moment of truth between the observer and the observed that so often is lost. The space between the artist and the room, the artist and the subject, the artist and his lens, speaks.
In Rooms began in the winter of 2011 as a visual diary. These walls speak and tell of secrets of the unseen — listen.

May 3rd - 26th, 2013
Opening reception: Friday, May 3, 6 -10 PM
Fuchs Projects is pleased to announce the debut solo exhibition of photographs by Brittany Markert. Come join us on Friday, the 3rd of May, for the reception!
Markert's "In Rooms" series reflects the artist's interest in the themes of identity, intimacy, memory and loss. Her photographs, taken in isolated, unidentifiable spaces, are an evocative study of subjects withdrawn from society. Printing each image herself in the darkroom, she vignettes memories in haunting darkness and draws viewers deeply into every moment. Using long exposures and movement, she creates an unsettling feeling of tension within the body, each frame a moment gasping for air. Markert captures man's internal conflict, examining our perception of reality and identity through the use of self-portraits. After cleverly orchestrating each scene and her subjects, Markert spontaneously enters the frame at the last second, provoking organic reactions from her subjects. Sequential images allude to the mind's obsessive tendency to recollect the past and interpret reality. In Rooms draws out the viewer's voyeuristic desire and invites us to experience and contemplate this visual diary.
Brittany Markert (b. 1987, Torrance, CA) received her B.S in Mathematics from Santa Clara University in 2010. She currently volunteers at International Center of Photography where she is self-taught in traditional darkroom printing.
Markert currently resides in Brooklyn, NY.

Thoughts on Kubrick? Your In Rooms series seems right out of the Shining.
Kubrick is an inspiration of mine, thank you for the association. The Shining was a favorite film of mine growing up…. to me it masters building suspense and psychological horror through isolated spaces. I can relate to this with my In Rooms series. A lot of my work is built on understanding the human experience as it evolves in isolation and withdrawal from society. I relate to Kubrick often when I read his interviews and thoughts on photography/composition/meticulous details. I think we are both fond of symmetry and center framed subjects/rooms.
cheers,
