JAYCE SALLOUM: STUPID PLEASURES
The artifacts and residue within each photograph/object are seen as a "site" in the formation of a cultural understanding/misunderstanding. Various areas of research and production located here focus on issues such as: 1) how "difference" is expressed and consumed in and through representation; 2) the construction of an identity permeated by social/cultural fictions: 3) myths of capital/consumption; and 4) scientific materialism and the statistical logisticizing of all." - Jayce Salloum
Stupid Pleasures by Jayce Salloum, is an on-going installation project of 20x24 inch Polaroid prints with text panels/captions speculating on the construction of representation and meaning in image-based media. Stupid Pleasures is designed to be viewed in a serial context, the individual pieces playing off each other, playing off of the information, collectivity, tragedy, or absurdity of the surrounding pictures.
