About:
These digital prints deconstruct their own production process. Beginning as still-life photographs of supermarket produce captured by a digital camera, the image travels through the entire digital pipeline—lens, sensor, wiring, computer components, software—until it materializes as ink on paper, hung on the wall with hooks and clips.

The deceptively simple arrangement is layered with an informational panorama that reveals the circumstances and locations of the production chain, positioning the produce as the final eventuation of this global process. Superimposed in small type over the still-life are inscriptions including the retailer’s name and address and the primary production companies involved, tracing the dynamic roots of the artwork’s production in today’s global economy.
