REMIX

A xerographic study of presence, disguise, duplication, repetition, and pre-existing authorship.

​​​

Remix is a visual experiment in reproduction and concealment, using the banal act of photocopying to capture the imprint of the body and its proxies — gloves, sunglasses, hands. These objects are not merely accessories; they are interfaces. They shield, obscure, and displace. What they touch, they also hide.

The act of photocopying becomes a gesture of mechanical intimacy: light scanning across materials like a forensic flash. Each sheet records a residual presence — a ghost of function, a gesture without origin. These are not portraits, but rehearsals of presence. A choreography of surfaces.

​

In Remix, nothing is invented. Everything is pre-existing — mass-produced, already seen, already touched. The gesture is borrowed. The image is a remainder. What was once singular becomes repeatable. What was intimate becomes schematic. The body becomes a sample — flattened, filtered, duplicated.

The photocopier operates with indifference. It does not seek meaning, only contrast. And yet, within this repetition, subtle erosion occurs: small shifts, minor deviations, accumulations of trace. It is in this fragile distance between sameness and difference that the work quietly resides.

​

Remix resists the myth of originality and questions what it means to create in an age of endless reproduction. It refuses authorship and insists on re-authorship. The image is no longer an origin, but a relay. A loop. A copy of a copy.
