Vs. 041

An extension of his ongoing Caryatid series (2004–), Paul Pfeiffer’s first NFT collection, Vs., transports the viewer to the boxing ring utilizing found footage from two historic boxing matches—Pacquiao vs. Horn and Pacquiao vs. Mayweather. To create each piece, Pfeiffer has taken existing televised footage and digitally erased Pacquiao’s opponent, leaving the viewer to witness a man viscerally struggling, resisting, suffering, and at times prevailing over an unseen foe. The series consists of two long-form video works (each an edition of 5 plus 1 AP) and 150 short-form clips (each unique and variable in duration)—both of which come with file formats for image and video. This collection contains the short-form videos. Vs. was commissioned by Artwrld. License: https://artwrld.com/license
