1500 sculptures made of plaster, marble dust, and mineral pigment.

Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MADC), San José, Costa Rica, 2017.

"The Year of the Digital Camera for Personal Portraits," an installation by Albertine Stahl, immerses us in a dystopian world full of obsolete technology. Through 1,500 plaster sculptures mimicking digital cameras, pigmented to resemble marble, Stahl critiques technological divides and power dynamics in our society. The cameras, arranged closely together, evoke the frieze of Mayan dead and create a narrow corridor that imparts a claustrophobic sensation. Each camera has a marbled effect that, from a distance, appears pixelated. The installation, presented in Costa Rica in 2017 as part of the exhibition "9/11-11/9," aims to reflect on our relationship with technology and how it influences the construction of our identities in the contemporary era.
