Joey Holder's Selachimorpha project draws on a scene from the iconic movie Jaws (1975) to explore the dissemination of manipulated images as truth in internet culture. The scene where a shooting star flashes behind the character played by Roy Scheider is the catalyst for conspiracy theories that emerge. Adaptation and sharing of images of deserts, oceans, and outer space provide an ideal landscape for fiction and imagination. The project's name is derived from the scientific classification of sharks, a group of plate-gill fish belonging to the Selachimorpha (Selachii) class. The Selachimorpha project navigates the blurred lines between factual and fictional images, symbols, and memes, making the ever-changing belief systems we use to define our world explicit.
