Really hot.
This image, one from my Shredding Project, is of me cooling off when I was eight years old.
In a recently published review of the project, Nick Malewski wrote:
Feinstein's "Shredding Project" paradoxically crosses a systematic destruction of evidence with an attempt to recall the past. All the images look like the photographic records of family vacations and day outings. The artist is not to blame, in this case, for lacking compositional skill or capturing uninspiring scenery since 'these pictures were taken by all the members of family,' she admits. Feinstein leaves her artistic mark on them through a process of reproducing them, tearing them into evenly spaced vertical bands and putting them back together, albeit not perfectly. The archival pigmented prints acts as visual metaphors for a mind trying to conjure mundane, yet somehow pivotal memories that have been shredded in the passage of time leaving only fuzzy images constructed from jagged, incomplete pieces that never quite line up."
