Heir Hunter

(2014-2024)


Heir Hunters is the third book in the series that engages photographic production as a thrill-seeking sensory process. Through the exploitive narrative lens of an heir hunter looking back from the distant future, the book maps out memories of skin-like lustre in the digital age, reminiscing the lost art of aesthetic connoisseurship in which light and shadow danced across the surface of objects in playful appreciation of the artisan’s handiwork.
