I Got Troubles Oh

– 2011

Contemporary image culture has stripped thousands of pictures from their original context. In a blog society, images are aggregated and ownerless. We can no longer empathize with the author or relate to our world. To restore the image's intended purpose as clarifying agent, it is helpful to build a new world. In this case, an image of a surfing grim reaper has been repaired. The reality of Surf Reaper is told through the construction of his belongings. These objects and ephemera culminate in an auction catalog and exhibition.
