Double-Shot: 11.10(b) | Shot Archival Inkjet Photograph | 10.75" x 38" | 2010

 

Artist Statement: Michael Bisbee’s Double-Shot series is an exploration of the photograph subjected to cathartic marking, sometimes to the point of obliteration. This action is sourced from the rural practice of “tagging” signs by shooting at them. His Double-Shot work is conceived as both performance and object.
