Dark Prospects

Dark Prospects takes as its source material issues of People, Time, Newsweek, U. S News and World Report. Charles Beronio retains the form of the magazine, but dismantles the medium's visual language by blacking out all references to textual and visual references to corporate branding, time and location, as well as the faces of the magazines' featured stars and advertising props. What's left is a stuttering, unforgiving sequence of detonated images and textual fragments; a skewed visual narrative of modern life.
