Photographic Typologies: Jason Oddy

Jason Oddy's project Seats of Power examines the furniture arrangements of powerful, often rarely seen interiors. When viewed collectively, the chairs in these photographs begin to take on human characteristics. They mimic the people who typically occupy them; and like people seem to express both individuality and conformity in different situations. The anthropomorphic transformation of inanimate objects in Jason Oddy's photographs breaths new life into the visual rigidity of places like the Pentagon, or The United Nations.
