"Main Character_#5", from the series: "Pirate copy " Print

The series was inspired by films that have just been released and found on the Internet in very low quality. Films of major film companies, re-shot during the premiere with portable cameras, are pirated post-production, and get ready-made on the Internet. Low quality digital impressionism. Its phantom and airiness, transparency of light and shadows. These characteristics make the product of mass culture indistinct and unclear, poeticizing stereotyped and banal plots. What is attractive to me about using such fragments? Mixing fragments of ready-mades allows me to create an image of a new film in painting. Endowing the image of an imaginary film with the epithets: impressionism and sensuality of visual content, one can safely say that post-production, using pirated borrowing, provides film companies with services for transferring their mass product into the category of contemporary art. And the use of selected fragments from the Internet in creating a picture helps to make painting a part of the post-Internet discourse.
