PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF ABSTRACT EVENTS

PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF ABSTRACT EVENTS Is a ongoing project about capturing events that first have no physical manifestation. All the countless hours of activity directed towards the smartphone does not exist in any physical place. With this project, I have gathered the only direct physical manifestation of this activity, the fingerprints from all the taps, and swipes that is directed at the glass screen on our phones.

The three inkjet prints are 80x45 cm and mounted on aluminium and face mounted with 4mm of acrylic glass.
