X-Ray

“X-Ray” is a series balancing on the intersection of digital and painterly spaces. The balance of power is deliberately shifted between intention and chance, from control to coincidence. The controllable action of digital processes is being moved towards a more fluid painterly place, towards the unpredictable glitch. It´s destabilized digitality. Canvas without primer absorbs ink differently, moving the printed image away from strict reproducibility. It results in a dialogue between method and material. Print exists as a mark and a reaction at the same time. The precision of digital tools becomes subverted. A blurry photograph is both soft and sharp. Firm in its form yet dissolving in its execution, creating a duality and a paradox. This leftover image, diffused and distorted, is a trace of what it once was. Imperfection, interruption and erasure are active decisions, gestures that become fractures of this reality. Within these collages, within these fragments of reality, the world is tangible. It is not just a translation of an image, but a translation of lived experience, a translation of captured, distorted moments.
