Drawing on imagery from advertising, the internet, magazines and her own drawings and photographs, Clunie Reid’s photo-collages appropriate and violently represent the banality of everyday images. Drawing on the sexual content and rhetoric of advertising, and often reproduced on a mirrored surface with hand-scrawled jokes and texts overlaying them, the images play on the relationship between surface and penetration, where distorted images, words and text shatter the reflection of the mirrored surface.In this artists’ book these illusionistic, sexual games are replayed across the blacked or mirrored surface of the pages. Using images, jokes, text, and drawings, the book becomes a hall of mirrors in which one meaning rapidly collapses in on itself only to reproduce a new multifaceted one.


広告、インターネット、雑誌や彼女の手がけるドローイングや写真からイメージを描き、Clunie Reiのフォトコラージュは適切かつ猛烈に日常の陳腐さをあらわす。性的なコンテンツや広告のレトリックを描き、しばしば殴り書きのジョークやその上に重ねられたテキストは鏡面で再現され、イメージは表面と浸透とのあいだにおける関係性を翻弄し、それはイメージをゆがめ、言葉やテキストは鏡面の反響に粉砕する。
このアーティストブックにおいて、これらの幻術師的で性的なゲームは黒あるいは鏡面のページを交差してリプレイされる。 イメージ・ジョーク・テキスト・ドローイングをつかって、本書は鏡の間となっている。それはひとつの意味として、ただ新しい多面的なものとして再生するために急速に崩壊したということである。
