Michael Woodruff Digital Artist

The male gaze upon the historied LA landscape and its denizens. Psychogeography and the greed and fallout played out countless times on the silver screen for our entertainment. Looking into the purely aesthetic gestures and framing of the female subjects, both as a cultural token of the female form and beauty and as a canvas for experimentation on a new narrative of the supercut as a series of vibes and a further take on Warhol’s factory mechanics in this digital age. It’s an analysis of cinemagraphic narratives woven out of context, using the exposure, composition, blocking, movement and colour as a singular entity away from story to frame that one instance of pop appeal and applying that in an almost abstract textural canvas to project onto. I’m taking away it’s normal medium of the photographic negative and processing it through another.
