obJet's material consists entirely of low-resolution free porn pictures. This porn ‘objet trouve' was downloaded via the Internet by following dozens of spam emails that offered free pictures. Shortly after the collection of the material the account was terminated since due to the large amount of spam it was no longer manageable!

The video proceeds formally by dramatically slowing down the frenetic rhythm of on screen intercourse encountered in porn movies through the use of a simple kind of animation: multiple layers of still images in soft pendulum motion. The animation generates a perpetual emergence of dislocated body parts and figures which surface in the midst of a binding, ondulating confusion only to be swallowed by the next wave of images.

The superposition of images conceals as much as it reveals. Only the emerging slices of faces and bodies suggest a, multilayered reality invisible to the naked eye.

The video is silent; the environmental soundtrack of each specific screening is defined as the 'audio' of obJet .
