In 2007, Shaun Kardinal began photographing himself in his bathroom, intimately inspecting the banal moments we experience daily. These moments- where we find ourselves brushing teeth, shaving, showering- are both unique within the context of our personal experience yet also common in each of our daily lives. In these habitual and repetitive actions we find our minds wandering, remembering and dissecting. Unless something out of the ordinary happens during our routines, however, the whole experience is lost. With these photographs, Kardinal attempted to focus on the moments that might otherwise be forgotten- those we all experience but rarely share.

The resulting series was called Look at Me, because although the photos represent everyday experiences, the moments revealed are his own. With this personal approach in mind, he has begun to photograph instances more private: in Go On, I'm Listening and Double-Blind, the newest pieces presented here, Kardinal explores his voyeuristic side.
