Lacey Terrell
offSET

As a still photographer on motion picture sets, I am required to capture the scripted, predictable moments in the story that are used for publicity.  In order to do this, I have to be close to the action, yet invisible; I am constantly observing, waiting for the quintessential ‘moment’ which depicts the tale that is unfolding.  My mission in that realm is very specific.

In this series, I have used my experience on films and locations as a starting point, but have turned my camera off set. Slipping behind the metaphoric curtain of center stage, I will look back at the constructed reality being played out, or wander into uninhabited areas.  I am intrigued by where the artifice of movie making and the ‘real’ intermingle. As I hunt for images that occupy this space, I become a flâneur of sorts; a solitary figure roaming the outskirts of the location, studying the spectacle before me, looking for things unnoticed by others.  In this realm, I have the freedom to capture unwritten, authentic moments found within the contrived environment of a film set. Re-contexualizing these images, I create my own mysterious slivers of narrative that highlight the overlooked, the unexpected, and the poetic.
