An observer may speculate that Ventura's figures are hypermediated, or assume a hyperrreal effect. This impression is risky, given the veneer of ther work as oil, but also interesting not because it discloses a trick in the trade or that it unveils the artifice, but because it complicates our notions of how bodies are supposed to be harnessed as figuration.
