SKINKFLICK

2024

SKINFLICK reflects the consumerist, pornographic culture of our time. It explores the complex and triply reciprocal relationship between object, observer, and screen. In SKINFLICK, we expanded our study of visual mechanisms, examining the repetitive production of imagery to shift focus from representation and content to the dynamics of consumption. Consumption itself, of course, is a highly ambiguous act: it can excite, but only briefly, it can satisfy, yet it also fuels a lingering boredom that drives the viewer to seek it repeatedly—a self-consuming cycle of embodied, acquired identities and layered interpretations.

What does it mean to inhabit one’s own body while simultaneously observing it from afar?
