Susannah Slocum is an artist based in New York City whose photographic work is inspired by social science research methods. Her typologies utilize increased social interconnectivity as both a means and an end. Participant observation is a type of research strategy that usually involves a range of methods: informal interviews, direct observation, participation in the life of a group, analysis of personal documents produced within a group, self-analysis, and life histories. Its aim is to gain a close and intimate familiarity with a given group of individuals (such as an occupational or subcultural group, or a particular community). Influenced by this strategy, Slocum’s art practice is concentrated on photographic portraiture with a personalized twist that includes intensive involvement with people in their natural environment. Her formally straightforward images depict persons who share something that is not immediately apparent. Are they a group or fierce individualists?
