Beyoncé With Elongated Skull (Live), Still I (1/10 edition)
2010
Beyoncé With Elongated Skull (Live), Still I (2010) is a 1/10 limited edition still from the live performance first presented in 2010 as part of New Age Default at New Gallery London. The frame captures the projection of the elongated-skull icon onto the performer’s body, collapsing image culture, celebrity, and post-internet ritual into a single frozen gesture. Released as a collectible artifact, the still extends the aura of the original video performance across media and time.

Ryan Trecartin
American · b. 1981

Trecartin creates video and performance work that similarly collapses celebrity image culture, internet vernacular, and ritual identity into frenetic frozen or looping gestures, treating digital media as a site of post-internet mythology.

Petra Cortright
American · b. 1986

Cortright works with video stills and digital projection as collectible NFT artifacts, layering pop culture iconography and glitch aesthetics onto bodies and surfaces in ways that mirror Ball's collapse of celebrity and post-internet ritual.

Hito Steyerl
German · b. 1966

Steyerl's video and documentary work critically examines how image culture and projected icons circulate across bodies and media, sharing Ball's interest in the frozen performative gesture as a site where mass culture and ritual meaning collide.
