About this exposition

This research project serves as a exposition into the discourse of the internet phenomenon: Cursed Images. Cursed images are a type of internet meme that have gained great popularity in the digital culture in recent years. These unsettling and eerie images often feature bizarre, creepy or inexplicable content that is intended to evoke a sense of unease and discomfort in viewers. While cursed images have become a popular fixture of internet culture, their origins, participators, situations and meanings remain largely mysterious and unknownable. This work is an opening into the exploration of the phenomenon and aesthetics of cursed images, examining their significance in digital culture, psychological impact to the viewer and the ways in which they challenge our assumptions about reality, perception of images and the medium of photography.
