"Girl Imagined by Chance" is a critifictional novel about a couple, who, in an unguarded moment, find themselves having created a make-believe daughter (and soon a make-believe life to accompany her) in order to appease their friends, family, and ultimately, the culture of reproduction. Structured around twelve photographs, a single roll of film, "Girl" explores the nature of photography and the questions that nature raises about the notions of the simulated and the real, the media-ization of consciouness, originality, self construction, and the way we all continually fashion our faces into masks for the next shot. At its heart, "Girl Imagined by Chance "investigates the mystery of self-knowledge. Its prevailing metaphor and structural device, the photograpy, examines the way images, in their magical ability to mimic memory, ultimately mock and eradicate it. The individual past, seemigly stable and fixed, turns out to be as protean and unknowable as the future, and the body becomes strangely dispensable, perpetually adrift in a cybernetic world of hyperlinks and interfaces.
