The New Eve-olution
Photographic Performance
Ellen created the ‘The New Eve-olution’ photographic performance series in 2019 to visually reveal how communicating through apps and literally living through social media platforms is affecting our bodies, minds and futures. Referencing Apple as the forbidden fruit from the story of Adam and Eve and combining the theory of evolution, she reveals a modern digital hybridisation of our culture’s new social dilemma. The imagery is translated into a form of awareness through a voyeuristic anxiety, provoking the viewer to question their relationship to technology.
