Surplus is about excesses, extras, and digital possibilities. Through video, photography, and sculpture, the exhibition focuses on photo-based surplus as a lens through which to see the wider world of production and distribution. Jimmy Limit addresses the excess of images that exist online, the photos that stay backed-up on hard drives, the artwork that is unexhibited or unsold and in storage, the many ideas that only half materialize, and the multitude of display options for translating digital, photo-based images. Taking inspiration from the thousands of images he looks at on eBay, Google Images, stock photography websites, e-commerce sites, museum archives, and contemporary art aggregates, Limit’s photographs look strange yet familiar.
