↓ Artefacts
The title of the series Artefacts is a double entendre and refers on the one hand to the objects which are depicted, but on the other hand to digital artefacts and distortions that have been added to alter the images in substantial ways. The images show fragments of ancient figures as they are archived in museum collections, large concrete sculptures and even utilitarian architectural structures like a flood barrier in the Netherlands. What all the objects have in common, is that their appearance and meaning is dominated by their materiality: polished stone, aging concrete, brittle marble fragments. These images are collected from archives and scanned at a very high resolution. By moving them during the scanning process, the shape of the objects is altered so far that new images emerge. New forms are created by causing glitches and distortion.
