Visual Artist | Brooklyn, NYC

Australian visual artist Adam Inglis uses photography as a vehicle for memory, exploring how meaning emerges in everyday encounters. Working openly and close to subjects, he captures moments where conscious performance meets unconscious expression – revealing what words conceal through body language, where symbols surface in gesture, behavior, and identity.

Positioning himself as both participant and observer, Inglis’s transparent approach creates images oscillating between awareness and instinct. This blurs the line between collaboration and documentation, dismantling documentary pretense to embrace photography’s constructed nature.

Influenced by psychoanalytic theory, philosophy, and media studies perspectives on public space, Inglis reads urban environments as living archives where personal gesture intersects with collective patterns. His layered compositions probe the human condition, revealing the public sphere as both social theater and psychological landscape.

Inglis’s work embraces ambiguity, inviting viewers to linger in uncertainty rather than seek definitive interpretations. His pictures trace how meaning emerges in the space between – photographer and subject, viewer and image. They suggest understanding arises not from individual analysis, but through sustained attention to what bodies and spaces reveal about our shared human experience.
