The series “Stock Photos” is based on images from several photo agencies, downloaded illegally on the Internet and softened until the entire image, including the copyright imprint, is blurred beyond recognition. The original subjects of the selected images, available for purchase for media-related usage, reflect a staged view of the art world. Framed by the original titles given to them by the agencies, they dissolve into a nebulous nothing, a state of relative meaninglessness.
