A photograph of an old CRT television standing on a wooden cabinet in a dim room, its curved glass screen the only source of light. On the screen plays a 1990s soft drink commercial: cat_girl, sun-tanned, damp copper hair stuck to her forehead, in a bright yellow one-piece swimsuit, stands on a sun-bleached beach in blinding midday heat with sweat running down her temple, holding a frosted aluminium can up beside her face, condensation beading on the metal and running over her fingers. The can is red and blue with white lettering reading "BREPSI". She is caught mid-laugh with her head tilted back. The commercial footage on the screen is oversaturated and high contrast with a hot orange cast, exactly the look of nineties advertising. The television reproduces it with visible horizontal scanlines, phosphor bloom around the brightest highlights, red and blue chromatic fringing along the edges, slight barrel distortion from the curved glass and a faint moire pattern from photographing the screen. The dark room around the set is out of focus, dust drifting in the glow, the corner of a sofa at the edge of the frame. Photorealistic, shot on 35mm film, visible grain, slight halation.
