passing stuff

photo series, 6 giclee prints, 35x25cm, 2023

These images which seem like pictorial still lifes were created using found footage from social media.

The pictures of draped bedding were all posted in online swap groups where users connect in order to give away their cleared-out things. The photographs were quickly shot with a mobile phone rather than taken with the intention to be well composed or artistic.

The work points out ambiguities in terms of ownership and authorship both in the context of a throwaway society as well as the digital age.
