I am thinking about applying to grants in photography but I don't know much about English or how to tell a "personal story". What is my biography? That I have shitposted on 4chan for 10 years after dropping out of university while doing photography on the side? The artist statements and biographies that I read are filled with buzzwords like communities, diversity, capitalism, indigenous, climate change, neo-liberalism and other virtue signalling bullshite. It really disgusts me. Nowhere they mention the fucking form or aesthetics. It's all just globohomo buzzwords and terms. Those statements read like a protest slogans rather than something an artist would say. They are plagued with utility. They don't think of art as end-in-itself. But as means to an end and most of the time it's just some political bullshit that they're seething about. Most of them sound like activists turned "photographers".
How can I write a short biography and statements which are actually human and convey artistic perspective? How do you write your biographies and artist statements?
