Catalogue published for Katerina Jebb's Deus ex Machina at Musée Réattu, Arles, presented in connection with Rencontres de la Photographie 2016. The exhibition was Jebb's first major solo museum project and brought together over one hundred still and moving images from her practice.

Jebb's work moves between photography, scanning, fashion image, archive, and object study. Using machine vision and high-resolution scanning processes, she turns bodies, garments, specimens, and museum objects into strangely exact images: part document, part apparition. The scanner does not interpret — it records. What it returns is a surface so precise it becomes uncanny: the texture of fabric, the grain of skin, the gloss of a taxidermied eye.

This catalogue sits close to that logic. A museum book where reproduction becomes surface, evidence, and theatrical device. The cover image — a two-headed duckling mounted on a wooden base, photographed against grey — announces the project's preoccupation with the specimen, the double, and the display of the strange.
