Monumental Work • Private Collection (Paris)
A landmark work in the development of the Autocensorship System.
Autocensorship II expands the artist’s investigation into perception, image resolution, and technological mediation. Constructed pixel by pixel in Venetian mosaic, the triptych transforms explicit imagery into an abstract field of color, forcing the viewer to question how images are decoded and understood.
From a close distance, the work dissolves into a fragmented landscape of skin tones and geometric units. As the viewing distance increases—or when observed through the lens of a mobile device—the hidden image gradually emerges. The mosaic becomes a perceptual filter where visibility depends not only on the image itself, but on the technology and distance used to access it.
The three panels originate from different frames of the same video sequence, transforming moving images into a permanent architectural composition. By fragmenting a single moment across multiple surfaces, the work echoes the way contemporary visual culture navigates images through zooming, cropping, and digital mediation.
The installation consists of three interconnected works:
Central Panel (200 × 100 cm)
A monumental composition depicting an intimate encounter between two women, concealed beneath a dense mosaic structure that oscillates between abstraction and representation.
Side Panels (80 × 80 cm each)
Two complementary works exploring themes of intimacy, desire, and self-perception through the same process of visual encryption and revelation.
Presented at Distrito 13 Art Fair in Paris in 2018, the triptych was later acquired by a private collector specializing in erotic and contemporary art. The work represents a pivotal moment in the artist’s research into latent imagery, where photography, pixelation, mosaic, and digital technology converge into a single visual system.
Today, the piece stands as one of the foundational works of the Autocensorship Series, a body of work examining how contemporary society negotiates visibility, censorship, desire, and technological mediation.
