The artist's technique consists of the use of two prints, the first print is the original photography, and the second print is a blurry version of the image printed on glass.

The glass version of the picture is shattered with an iron tool to be able to control the rupture. The artists glue the glass parts on top of the original picture, creating a blurred effect.

ALL IS FLUX
Inspired by the power traditionally attributed to image, Hunter & Gatti wanted their works to perpetuate the wildfire velocity of fashion and the fast cycle of this industry which voraciously consumes any of the images they have created. In response, H&G started re-working celebrity portraits: taking recognizable faces that idealize the work, to give
them a new origin, exploring concepts in perception, change, and identity, and playing with the tension between the material and the photography.
Change is the only way to keep their pictures alive. All is flux, nothing stays still.
