Project Description

Rebecca Campbell’s most recent project is an exploration of the cycle of life, specifically addressing the effects of aging on the human body. Using moving image and staged photography, she examines parts of the human body that are often especially marked by age, focusing on details such as stretch marks or teeth. Her work is inspired by fears and anxieties surrounding aging, which are extremely prevalent in today’s society, but are also deep-rooted. She draws some of her source imagery from fairy tales but she also borrows from the formal language of advertising, which offers the promise of eternal youth. Her work seeks to demonstrate the beauty and importance of aging, by showing how wrinkles on the body can preserve and communicate the experience of living.
