Doha-based photographer duo Christto and Andrew continue to push their slick, hyperreal aesthetic and idiosyncratic humour to new futuristic heights in Encrypted Purgatory. The SLEEK-approved artists’ latest project shown at Ground Control with Rencontres d’Arles, tackles transhumanism, questioning the place of the imperfect human in augmented reality. Ever playful and absurd, the duo’s photographs toy with ideas of the digital world, where frictionless screens display cyber representations of ourselves.
