World-renowned artist Paul Pfeiffer presents his genesis NFT collection, Vs., commissioned and presented by Artwrld. A meditation on our collective cultural obsession with mass spectacle and ritual, Vs. is comprised of edited footage pulled from two iconic boxing matches featuring Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao against opponents Jeff Horn and Floyd Mayweather. To create each piece, Pfeiffer has taken existing televised footage and digitally erased Pacquiao’s adversary, leaving the viewer to witness a man struggling, resisting, suffering, and at times prevailing over a ghostly foe who is as unseen as he is undeniably present. More than an image of sports, Pfeiffer brings his unsparing eye to a culture of cameras and media distribution that ultimately lands, painfully, in a body. The collection presents us with an incredibly evocative and moving work by one of the great visual artists of our time.
