The image-based practice of Megan Plunkett is an investigation of material conditions and visual economies of reality in photography. Working with the physical space of an exhibition, she utilises movement, seriality and other types of disambiguation to cultivate a sense of estrangement and distance within familiar and mundane images, often using props or found items. Plunkett’s work is constantly pushing back against a false sense of totality or wholeness in favor of a photographic activity that expands outwards, where images are invariably bound up and imbricated with each other and strange, meandering material archives of Western consumption.
