Carbon Copy

Carbon Copy brings the selfies from self-Less into the darkroom. Negatives of the images are made and they are printed using the antique photographic process of carbon printing which produces images that are exceptionally resistant to deterioration. It speaks about the tension between disposability and permanence in the digital world. It is likely that theses images were exchanged intimately and not intended for public consumption. Yet they are online, available to anyone. The contextual abyss, that is the Internet, makes it difficult to ascertain the circumstances under which any particular image was produced and how it is disseminated. Thus it is hard to distinguish between a naked selfie posted by the subject with personal exhibitionistic intention, from pornography produced for profit, from revenge porn circulated against the will of the subject. Facts from facades from fictions. Together self-Less and Carbon Copy reverberate in the tensions of agency between capturing/circulating one’s own image, and having one’s image captured/circulated. Anything Legal is Hosted Forever.
