I want to take the “posters” of torsos and the boy band, One Direction, I created in the summer (which were printed on a cheap and disposable bond paper) and expose them to the elements. I want to set them outside in the Las Vegas sun. I want to see the effect that the Mojave desert has on images. How does time affect the appeal of both the torsos sourced from Grindr or the youth of the One Direction members? While both of the Grindr torsos and One Direction are sexually appealing at the moment, what happens over a span of time? What happens as the ills of aging, hooking-up, and quick fame take over? How can one see or predict their future in an image? Even though these attractive people exist, they are so of-the-moment; their appeal is probably not timeless. I am interested in how the desert quickly ages or “wears-out” the cheap and superficial nature of these posters.
