These large format prints employ appropriated images from a filtered google image search. My effort was to investigate the largest files on the web. In doing so, subcultures emerged. One specific emergence I was interested in was the "head shots" of actors. A subset of individuals offered their photographs at extremely large scale for web presentation. these collages combine three of these portraits with other "large file" imagery found on the web. The result is a collage comprised of a microcosm of what is being archived on the web.
