Spectator-ship of Suffering

Spectator-ship of Suffering

 


“Spectator-ship of Suffering” is a series of collages  delicately framed and hung on the wall with a magnifying glass. This work explores the commodification of imagery within the online spectrum. Through the process of gleaning images from news reports and social media, the collages underscore our exposure to human suffering and also how such imagery co-exists along side sexy, fetishised images of celebrities or cutesie kittens or other non-relevant junk in popular media – you have the privilege to lean in and explore the psychology of what we chose to transmit and transmute.
