I am interested in the point at which oversaturation destroys information in an image, in the concept of a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy where pixels are generalized and lost with each subsequent action. This abstraction of pain, bodies, and information combines to re-author the archived images.
An enlarged scan of a female wrestler oversees an oversaturated photograph of my birth. The image of my birth has been cropped and repeatedly oversaturated until reduced to a neon red.
The following images, Untitled Pornographic Image 1 and Untitled Pornographic Image 2 were made through a process of repeatedly running scanned images from pornographic magazines through an automatic pixel content-aware filling process in photoshop, where the computer began generating "new" pixels based on the provided ones. What is produced is somewhat of a pseudo-skin, and speaks to how screens and applications read and produce images of women’s bodies.
