Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This work features a close-up view of beer bottles against a dark background. The composition emphasizes the strong contrast between the vibrant red and white labels on the bottles and the shadowy, ominous backdrop. The blurry, out-of-focus effect creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. The artist has employed a photographic technique that highlights the materiality and texture of the glass bottles, drawing the viewer's attention to the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The work seems to explore the familiar through an unconventional, almost surreal lens, hinting at the artist's intention to challenge conventional perceptions of everyday objects. ...

Megan Plunkett
B.1985, American

Megan Plunkett (b. 1985 in Pasadena, CA, US) lives and works in Los Angeles, US. The image-based practice of Megan Plunkett is an investigation of material conditions and visual economies of reality in photography. Working with the physical space of an exhibition, she utilises movement, seriality and other types of disambiguation to cultivate a sense of estrangement and distance within familiar and mundane images, often harvested online. Her installations are set up to create moments where the material conditions of an image are made clear, and then disrupted. As such, Plunkett’s work is constantly pushing back against a false sense of totality or wholeness in favour of a photographic activity that expands outwards, where images are invariably bound up and imbricated with each other and their archive. ...
