In his “The Human Pulse” series on the universality of humanity, John Elliott seeks to explore the dynamic and interconnected movements of people within the depth of physical space. With a deep aspiration to bear witness to the cultural and social conditions encountered, the work aims to demonstrate the incredible and fascinating diversity of the human experience. The scenes are presented with honesty, bringing to light the subjects’ life challenges and nuanced reactions.
The angle at which each scene is captured is a key element of this series, reflecting vantage points that often appear in the artist’s dreaming state: floating somewhat above, sometimes even at a great distance, yet remaining connected to the moment. “The Human Pulse” is an ongoing project, currently shaped by the artist’s life in, or extensive travels through, 32 countries. A sense of ambiguity in events or actions frequently draws the artist’s attention, embracing the belief that questions often reveal more than answers.
