Coba Ruins No. 1, 2021

With her new series, Reverse of Ruin, Plageman moves away from the physical print as a starting point. Instead, thinking about the ubiquity of images on screens, she intentionally misuses compositing tools to evoke the fragmented nature of our experience of time and place. Feeding the app subsets of images — sometimes 100’s at a time — the software produces a new raw material that she then curates and manipulates. In working this way, she introduces an element of chance, a sort of randomness that comes close the feeling of slippage and accumulation when things are pictured again and again. The resulting works have the feeling of being in more than one place at a time, like a slice of deep time.
