Subjective Camera Library is a re-purposing of both visual and text research materials for a larger book project on the production and distribution of a niche market of independent films in the 1970s and 1980s. The project includes books, prints, and other physical materials in an attempt to redistribute narrative keywords, isolated screenshots, and collective perspectives on horror, adult, and exploitation films. The exhibition looks at the complicated relationship between perceptions of fiction and the mirroring of both fantasy and reality. The exhibition primarily revolves around an accumulative library of volumes composed of user-generated narrative keywords documenting the patterns of viewer perspective and focus.
