Images Cannot Travel Backward
If the universe «is something like a spider or spit», what’s the contact surface? Probably an image. And considering that every mirror is repulsive (it pushes objects away, distances them from themselves), every image is a migration with no memory. Images cannot travel backward. The same happens with spit. They’re both bound to be brought down to earth at some point.
As they crash to the ground, they reverberate. Images and saliva are contagious, counterhistory is their destiny. Well, the parody of a fate.
A detailed study part of an ongoing exploration of body fluids, the editorial will display a diversified cast of model spitting. Framed alternatively as portraits and still lifes of everyday objects recontextualized as post-secular objects, the shoot will displace the fashion portrait as an exhausted genre.
