Images Rights

Paolo Cirio presents the three series of works Attention Property and Derivatives in his solo show Images Rights at NOME Gallery in Berlin. The exhibition Images Rights expands upon Cirio's concept of Internet Photography with a particular focus on the economic legal and semantic values of photos circulating online. These Cirio's works explore modes of appropriation art to address the political economy of images. Rather than authorship these artworks problematize the ownership liability and social responsibility of the production and distribution of photos on the Internet. The series Attention Property and Derivatives each examine respectively: images as currency of the attention economy images as capital and images as finance.
