With The Girls Club, an ongoing project since 2019, Peschek focuses on the eternal quest for self presentation within virtual social environments. Drawing on photo editing and retouching tools, Peschek merges her own selfies with an ever expanding archive of imagery culled from various social media feeds.

Thirteen meticulously-crafted hand dyed silk works mounted to aluminum frames are all characterised by deep fried edits to a series of self-portraits taken on the artist’s iPhone, collapse the face into an abstract field of material data, one that can refuse the superstructures of capital and identity that augured it.

“Using silk as a carrier for my images is a reference to the human skin,” Peschek explains in an interview. “Its fragile and delicate characteristic is a beautiful contrast to the hard surface of the touchscreen.”
