Is a girl sniggering at porn or a cartoon? No, she’s actually watching the torture and execution of a Mexican soldier. The most striking thing is that you can’t tell who’s watching what (though the flinching ecstasy of Cooper’s ‘Immersion: Porn’ participants is a bit of a giveaway).
He then takes stills from the footage and the extremely high-resolution, densely saturated portraits are the resulting works of art. The photographer and video artist films people through a screen (in which a Red digital camera is embedded) watching a range of different visual stimuli, from computer games to horror films, footage of executions to children’s cartoons.
When Robbie Cooper filmed a series of porn aficionados sharing (and showing) the depths of their passions for Wallpaper’s inaugural sex issue last year the response was explosive.
