Foul Reduced to Sell uses photography, type and captions (the latter taken directly from apps such as DoneDeal and Adverts) to pry into the life of a fictional taxidermist twitcher. Playing on the offbeat and voyeuristic tones of amateur animal photography featured on DoneDeal and Adverts, images focus on the subjects’ female body parts, parts that – for the human race – are considered sexual and arousing. The captions displayed alongside the imagery are inclusive of typos found on DoneDeal and Adverts and often do not relate to the accompanying image or may relate to an aspect of the animal which cannot be seen.
