A billboard project by New York-based artist collaborative caraballo-farman will be mounted concurrently throughout the month of May. Facing north on La Cienega Boulevard between Venice and Washington Boulevards, this project will serve as the first public iteration of an ongoing series of works entitled Regarding the Horror. Focused on the responses generated by scenes of terror, the digital manipulation of images appropriated from popular press coverage of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq serves as the basis of their photographic project. Two isolated figures occupy an evacuated space. Their context has been digitally removed by the artists to reposition the subject’s relationship to the spectacle of violence. Responding to the incessant circulation of images focused on the intimacies of individual suffering, the translation of this series into a billboard examines the spectacularization of mourning within the public sphere.

caraballo-farman is a two-person collaborative working in video, installation and photography. Their work has been included in such national and international exhibitions as the Havana Biennial, Cuba and the Cuenca Biennial, Ecuador; the Tate Modern, UK; Berlinale, Germany, World Wide Video Festival and Impakt, Netherlands; the Banff Center for the Arts, Canada; Buenos Aires International Art Biennial, Argentina; Artists Space, New York; and PS1 Contemporary Arts Center in Queens, New York.

caraballo-farman would like to thank Ram Devineni and Rattapallax for making this project possible
