During one week, the most-viewed video on Pornhub was archived each day as a screenshot, digitally distorted, and laser engraved onto marble tiles. Joined with the adhesive PremiumFlex, the seven fragments are installed using notched trowels that recreate the perspectival tilt of digital interfaces.
Removed from their online circulation and translated into stone, the images lose color but gain physical depth. PREMIUMFLEX examines pornography not as representation but as an infrastructure through which capital, labor, and power become materially organized.
