All eleven artists are presenting new works for this exhibition. Camera Roll Orgy reckons with the materiality of digital images that are being viewed for increasingly shorter lengths of time. Often forgotten, left behind and neglected as digital waste, the artists assert: these pictures are meant to be viewed. Yes, they are images, but they are objects too, and they are laden with utility, vanity, humor, sexuality, despair, euphoria and agency. These uniquely private photographic works finally see the light of day in Camera Roll Orgy.

Camera Roll Orgy is the first exhibition presented by ‘The Shop’, Addison Pest Control’s community space for cultural programming. Addison employs exclusively artists, writers and other creatives, providing gainful work while they develop their artistic practice and creative career paths. Addison was founded in Toronto in 2009 by Avery Addison Hunsberger and has recently expanded to New York, along with The Shop, which was co-founded with Matt Weinberger.
