Gambo questions how new ways of seeing might be facilitated by shifting away from the conventional camera-subject dynamic towards a more symbiotic relationship between photographer and subject. She advocates for a porous bodily engagement with the subject matter, one that allows for playful exploration and offshoots and listening to and becoming with the subject. ...
