The result of a collaboration between filmmaker Harmony
Korine and painter Christopher Wool, this series of
experimental images tests the limits of the pictorial and
the abstract, pushing the boundaries of visual and textual
narrative to extremes. Korine's photographs form the basis
of an intense process of layering, drawing, overprinting,
and photocopying. Passed back and forth between the artists,
these images are eventually reduced to ghostly shadows
beneath a barrage of scumbled dot screens, random patterning,
and symbolic blurs and drips. Gradually, the fragmented,
distorted images serially mutate, attacked by a combination
of mechanical and human processes. Yet despite the violence
exerted upon it, a vestige of narrative always survives.
