Abstract
InAction suggests both ‘in action’: to be in an activity, or armed conflict and ‘inaction’; absence of action. The medium and the process of photography, the places on the internet that I found these images, and the material spaces they occupy facilitate action and inaction. InAction: Notes on how not to be in nature problematises the idea of seeing, and being seen through the collection of images of men electing to be seen, or attempting not to be seen. Through the low quality photographs selling or promoting these camouflage outfits the person elects to be seen in order to demonstrate how to be invisible. This performance highlights tensions and contradictions inherent in how we act in nature, how we attempt to capture nature, and how we try to be nature so as to to gain power over something else; person, animal or object.
