Berlin-based artist Alex See works with objects, video, and photography to explore the nature of images in a post-digital reality. He manipulates and reconfigures digital or found imagery, transforming the immaterial into physical objects like videos and sculptural hybrids.
Over the past three months, See produced a new body of work that has been exhibited internationally in London and Brussels. Photographs from his studio show his process of printing large, distorted images onto fabric, which are then hung and manipulated. These printed materials are then shaped into three-dimensional forms, such as sealed, bag-like sculptures suspended from stands. Other pieces feature iridescent, metallic fabrics that are shaped into smaller, abstract forms.
The resulting works are amorphous, semi-translucent sculptures made of resin-like material. These glossy, bulbous objects, embedded with blurred imagery, are mounted on concrete pillars, appearing to organically cling to the architecture. Their surfaces retain traces of their digital origins while asserting a new physical presence.
