As part of this project I study video games as excavation sites, and the virtual objects that inhabit them as artifacts. I chose to highlight religious icons, nostalgic keepsakes, temporary materials and more. In terms of locations I generally gravitate around sites of worships, abandoned games or recognisable / familiar locations.
Among other processes, I transfer them into paintings so that unlike their digital counterparts, they can face the test of time, show their materiality and eventually aquire new meanings.
