‘STATE OF CONTROL’ BY STEPHEN BARRINGTON

When does control suppress identity—and when does it shape it? This is the question that drives Stephen Barrington’s State of Control, as it challenges the idea that control is purely restrictive. Exploring the delicate balance between these two oppositional forces, this interplay is expressed through dramatic shadows and silhouettes contrasted to create a striking visual tension.
