Suspension of Disbelief

Abstract

This thesis is an invitation to participate in the viewership and operation of fictional narratives. The making of this work is an attempt to understand the dichotomy of enjoying the trick and knowing its method. In construction and content of this work, I have satisfied my desire to make and my imagination to conceive fictional stories. I create dramatic narratives that function as singular frames of a film that I have never seen. I don't have to know everything that is going to happen with any of the characters I have found along the way. Each photograph is intended to provide possibilities rather than a definitive story.
