PLOTTER PRINTS

“My current series of photographs of museum statues alters our perception of the intended representation of the human body. Taken with my cell phone camera and enlarged as plotter prints (photocopies used by architects for plans), the large-scale, high contrast black and white photographs on cheap paper give a crass quality to the spotlit statues. It appears that they were taken from their respectable institutional home and transposed onto a concert stage or into a strip show. You could say that the breakdown of our expectations is echoed by the deterioration of resolution and detail in the photographic image.”
