Produced over a period of two years, Attention Seekers is a personal portrayal and playful response to everyday scenes, arbitrary spaces and people encountered by the photographer. In this work O’ Connor’s approach is best surmised as being concerned with the representation of scenes which appear to ‘petition for attention’, one’s which assimilate a particular allure. Each of the images exhibit ambiguous clues and mischievous impressions, where the interplay of color, form, scale and sequencing are all-important signifiers in engaging with the set.
