Still Image
Red Boots begins with a forgotten photograph found in the artist’s phone archive: an image of a pair of red boots that holds no personal meaning or memory. It belongs to the constant stream of imagery we consume daily and store on our devices. Through a slow process of manual screen printing in six layers, this “unimportant” image is printed directly onto polarized sheets from an LCD screen. The device, which normally plays such a dominant role in our everyday lives, loses its original function. Instead of entertaining us with an endless feed, it is frozen in time, displaying a single image for the rest of its lifespan. The work is presented in a curved frame (34 x 80 cm).
