Signal to Noise (2019) by artist Cédric Eisenring is a sequential series of photographs of bronze public sculptures, most of which are located in New York City. Edited directly in the lab, the final hand-colored prints are covered with quotations appropriated from graphic novels of the 1990s, merging the documentary and the fictional while simultaneously engaging with both pictorial and text-based narrative.
