Colored aluminum, pigments based on synthetically dyed salmon flesh, 2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint Job<\/em> is a sculpture series that resembles auto-tuning parts. The colors of the aluminum sculptures are selected from the standardized color set SalmoFan<\/em> and address the artificial coloring used in aquaculture to imitate the hue that habitat would normally provide in the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title \u201cPaint Job\u201d could be read as a reference to cosmetic treatment, genetic engineering and food colorants that boost efficiency and profitability. The juicy colors and streamlined design of the sculptures might even be arousing. At the same time, the slang paint job derives from the auto industry and points to low-paid jobs in harmful working conditions. The auto-tuning proves that we cannot escape representational and semiotic terms. By seeing similarities between customized salmon coloring and auto services, we reflect on commodification and explore the relationship that materials and objects have to social class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
