Mainsqueeze
Jon Rafman, 2014, CA, HD, 10'
Mainsqueeze starts out with the image of a washing machine tearing itself apart. The more it accelerates, the more it autodestructs. Although Rafman does not want to make a particular ethical statement, he seems to hint at a present time that’s out of joint. During his extensive journeys into the so called ’deep web’ Rafman collects, orders and observes his often disturbing imagery. He finds poetry there, where others might be repulsed.
