Aleem Hurst looks to corners, edges, and the unnoticed scraps of things we leave around our homes. Domestic spaces and interiors are central to Hurst’s work, as is the desire to rethink how we engage with photography’s dimensionality. The surface of their prints seems to pulsate as they push and pull at the tension of being two-dimensional objects that crave a third dimension.
