Stolen Identity Project (Bulgaria)
In early December 2005, individuals stole my identity using the Internet in the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia. Sensitive information regarding my checking account was stolen, allowing these individuals to travel throughout the region, withdrawing funds from ATMs and utilizing a forged VISA card while posing as me.
During the months of May and June 2006 I traveled to sites within the countries of Macedonia and Bulgaria where usage of my bank account occurred. I documented through photography the places and transactions that resulted from my stolen identity. By doing so, I hoped to reunite my conceptual, digital self with my actual, physical identity.
Each piece consists of photographic documentation of the transaction/transaction site and a brief text description.
