A collection of UV printed images on bubble wrap by Los Angeles-based artist Rosie Clements. Whereas Clements began out as a standard photographer, she has just lately begun to introduce materiality to digital photographs–to “reconstitute them in a bodily physique”:
“Typically discarded after a single use, bubble wrap mirrors the fleeting nature of digital photos simply shared and forgotten in our media-saturated world. The bubbles allude to particular person pixels rendered tactile. The works demand the viewer spend time with them–some are solely legible from the precise angle or distance, and up shut are virtually fully abstracted.”
The collection invitations the viewer to rethink the way in which they work together with photographs, and emphasizes the significance of texture and materiality in an period dominated by the intangible digital realm. See extra from “Pure Semblance” under.
