The subject of these photographs is a green screen on view at a National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas. Green screens are used in film production to save time and money. Actors are filmed in a studio in front of the screen, and the green background is later replaced with final background footage. Deschenes has made a monochrome image in a colour valued for its technical utility rather than its aesthetic quality and whose function ultimately leads to its own eradication.
