San Francisco, Ca
Biography:
Genea Barnes has always been compelled by reality and imagination. Wanting to see what is really there, underneath the masks. But appreciating the masks, the show, and the deceit that our perceptions carry.
While studying chemical engineering at UC Santa Barbara, Genea began to see moments in time, frozen. Sometimes she would see the depths of someones soul, sometimes the guise they presented and sometimes she would see something that was completely her own. Eventually, she realized she was on the wrong path and returned to the bay area to persue a new passion.
The day the left side took over is a series born on June 22, 2008. In a moment on a dance floor, the way that Genea saw, felt, and sat in the world was forever changed. A moment of freedom, a moment of clarity, and a moment of connection. Upon returning home that night, she turned the camera on herself to document the change.
