In one particular series, Bitrán recreated portraits of Britney Spears sourced from fan photos and paparazzi snapshots. In another, the artist created a suite of paintings and animations of drunk people and their viral escapades. By photographing the work and using the stills to make frame-by-frame animations, Bitrán taps into the idea of stereotypy, by covering each previous painting as an endless cycle of repetition.
The show, in essence, speaks on how modern society consumes images and narratives distributed by the media. By reframing this lens through her artistic vernacular, Bitrán invites the viewer to empathize and reassess the figures they depict and the larger cycle of mass consumption present online.
