Nino Mier Gallery is pleased to present Double negative by American artist David Moy. In the artist’s first presentation with the gallery, he interrogates the compounding nature of images, stacking and layering them until their totality becomes nothing—or everything.

By appropriating images, videos, and phrases designed to capture attention, he reinterprets their methods of control. Utilizing contemporary digital printing processes, he subverts the very technologies of reproduction to serve his own purposes of negation, slippage, and disorientation. Through obfuscation and erasure, he creates documents that demand meditation and prolonged viewing—an extended form of attention. In doing so, he reintroduces what the internet has eroded: “the present moment”.

In an era dominated by media, the attention economy, alternative facts, and increasing individualization, Moy examines the mechanisms of submission shaped by echo chambers and the homogeneous routines imposed by companies exploiting user attention for profit. His work further explores how these consequences seep into offline consciousness, shaping perceptions and beliefs. He continually negotiates what it means to believe in the present, particularly when facts become obscured by simultaneous truths. Grappling with how to move forward, he considers the lingering weight of past afterimages in contrast to the anxieties of an uncertain future.

Double negative will be on view from June 13th – July 19th in Brussels.
