Description:
A simple yet confrontational gesture: place your hand under the lens of a digital camera and see it rendered on the screen. The camera does not manipulate the image—it merely reveals it in pixel form, as all digital images are. The work draws attention to this act of translation: a hand becomes an image, and in doing so, becomes something else. The viewer is invited to question whether this representation is a true reflection of the real, or a mediated abstraction that alters their relationship to the body.
Core Question:
Is a digital representation an extension of the body, or a flattening of it?
