A portrait stares through an acid haze in Dissipate by Alexandre Farto aka Vhils.
The striking face of an anonymous woman is set against the backdrop of a city, the identity of which is also a mystery. Vhils applies his principle of creative destruction to the artwork, finding beauty in the unpredictable effects of acid. The result is an array of electric colours spread throughout a black veil rendered in delicate half-tone dots.
The final corroded image has been captured as a limited edition giclée print.
