Karinne Smith speaks with curator Samuel Staples for the Berlin based publication CODE
I had been working on this method at the time to transfer images onto collagen surfaces, and so I decided to put the two together, and began to use the melon as a substrate for the images I had collected. I use collagen film which is primarily used in the casing of sausages, the film is spread over the surface of the melon's flesh and the images imprinted over it. As the melon begins to decay the image transforms, molding, crumpling and bubbling beyond recognition. — excerpt
CODE 02: Life is Death is Life
A collection of artist's images, fashion editorials, interviews and raw explorations of the liminal spaces between one death and another life, CODE 02: Life is Death is Life is a whirlpool in the flowing river, a cathedral window that changes in light. A cave-dive into and collective meditation on the "beauty in letting something die" (Editor's Letter), this issue of the annual magazine features works from and conversations with Dr. Michael Hoch at CERN, Black Quantum Futurism, Karinne Smith, Tianzhuo Chen, Kevin Bray, Eugene Yiu Nam Cheung and more.
