Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

In this ongoing series begun in 2000, the artist appropriates photographs of basketball players found in the NBA archives, digitally removing all identifying information from the figures and traces of the basketball game from the court. In the aftermath of these interventions, the players sit, stand, or leap, uncannily suspended in illogical gestures removed from their usual context. Before the crowd of spectators, these figures formally recall religious martyrs, exploring the parallels between sports fandom and hero worship, while rendering their identities anonymous.
