Cybil Scott’s Arbeiten basieren auf gelöschte iPhone Nachrichten, die von Freunde und Kollegen gesammelt sind. Bilder, die zur Löschung bestimmt waren. Cybil Scott’s Arbeitsweise ist die einer Archäologin, durch den Müll anderer Leute wühlend – neugierig über die Gesellschaft in denen sie lebten. Scott wurde 1986 geboren in Miami, USA. Nach ihrem BA in Kunstgeschichte an der Universität in Tampa und dem MA in Fine Arts in der Universität Kingston, London; Lebt Scott in Hague, wo sie für die Zeitschriften Jegens & Tevens und Pamphlet Magazine arbeitet. MyToro Gallery is pleased to present the new exhibition by the American artist Cybil Scott who will present her work which is based on deleted iPhone photos which were collected from friends and colleagues. Images that are destined for deletion. ‘Poor images are the contemporary Wretched of the Screen, the debris of audiovisual production, the trash that washes up on the digital economies’ shores. They testify to the violent dislocation, transferrals, and displacement of images – their acceleration and circulation within the vicious cycles of audiovisual capitalism. Poor images are dragged around the globe as commodities or their effigies as gifts or as bounty. They spread pleasure or threats, conspiracy theories or bootlegs, resistance or stultification. Poor images show the rare, the obvious and the unbelievable, that is if we can still manage to decipher it.’- taken from an essay titled ‘In Defense of the Poor Image’ by Hito Steyerl. Cybil Scott’s approach is one of an archeologist looking through ancient people’s trash- curious about the society they lived in; but instead of the soil Scott digs through the excess digital trash, finding mystery, trends and even beauty. Scott was born in 1986 in Miami, USA. After completing the BA Art History in South Florida University in Tampa and MA Fine Art studies in Kingston University, London; Scott now lives in Hague where she is the Contributing Editor for Jegens & Tevens and a Contributor for Pamphlet Magazine.
