Emile Rubino investigates the ambiguous territory of photography, approaching the medium as both image and object, and as a site where meaning is constantly negotiated. He considers the photograph not simply as a picture, but as a container shaped by labor, materiality, and the social conditions of its production. This perspective allows him to foreground the processes and infrastructures that surround photography, rather than limiting its function to representation. Central to his work is an interest in how abstract ideas can be articulated through non-representational forms.
