In "Dissolution", the artist directly intervened in the pornographic images through an emulsion lift by dissolving the instant film material and transferring it to an abstract space. The image-bearing emulsion is elevated and draped with small erect pins, transformed
into an undulating topography that metaphorises the experiences of self-emancipation and sublimating orgasms. By separating and re-contextualising the image from its original setting, Jiang gives a sculptural body to the once flat images. In addition, he reiterates the reproducibility of photography in tandem with its materiality through the act of recapturing found images with instant film and manipulating the film itself.
