Bather Energyption

Description

"Spence’s photocollage work repurposes imagery from vintage British Columbia travel brochures and advertisements, cropping and dissecting the images into tiny pixels and rearranging them into abstracted, digital-inspired designs arranged by colour and value. Bather Energyption transforms the neutral tones of the vacationers’ bodies and the buildings behind them into a gradient of colour and value, creating a deconstruction of the image on the left with a distinctly digital appearance, despite being created through traditional means. Through the appropriation of voyeuristic images, Spence creates a high contrast between analog and digital media."
