UNHOLY ERECTION

Unholy Erection’s large scale digital collages reveal the psychological landscape of its fictional collaborators, Johnnie B. Smooth and the B-Dazzler. Their work touches upon themes of the human condition including mortality, humility, and love. Seemingly disparate icons, textures and messages are melded together to suggest a dreamlike state which could be seen as advertisements from the subconscious. Their process involves revisiting and recycling imagery and content created over a span of 11 years. Since 1994, Unholy Erection has been working with photography, video, poetry, music, books, and the internet. Their work has been exhibited in numerous group shows including The Next Big Thing at the Detroit Museum of New Art, the Wexner Center For the Arts in Columbus, Ohio and is in private collections in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
