Curatorial Note
CTRL+SUB maps the erotic mechanics of domination not through spectacle but through code: gesture, syntax, execution. The work frames the body not merely as a site of submission, but as a live protocol—executed, interrupted, overwritten. The printed ASCII characters mimic not only the surface of flesh, but the language of command lines: sequences that bind, compel, undo.
The split-limbed tension, the held face, the arched surrender — all read as interface. What is witnessed here is not violence, but agreement enacted at the edge of language. The control key is not just symbolic—it is a contract. One body holds; another allows. The mutual override becomes visible, line by line.
