The Absurd Erotica of Zeitguised vs Nick&Chloé
Berlin’s 3D warlocks Zeitguised slow it way down to single frames in this head-snapping collaboration with the London based commercial photography duo Chloé Claverie and Nick West “to wreak havoc on our appetites and desires.”
Zeitguised: “One goal of the exercise is to deconstruct the hierarchies that are cast with the order in which the elements of the photographic images are made. Traditionally the sequence follows: World>model>fashion>lighting>photography>postproduction, with a diminishing role in the production of meaning of the image from beginning to end.
“This project attempts to create new meanings with every new order of ‘remixing’ the original image, without completely erasing the original meaning, but rather playing and commenting on it through added layers. The other goal is to playfully twist the language of erotic imagery into absurdity by its own seductive means, without collapsing the celebration of the senses.”
