Les photographies qui composent le livre de Tabitha Soren Surface Tension sont des reproductions à la chambre 20x25 de l'écran de sa tablette numérique. En arrière plan, derrière les traces de doigts qui recouvrent ce dernier figure un corpus d'images provenant aussi bien de l'historique de ses recherches internet, des réseaux sociaux qu'elle consulte que des sms qu'elle reçoit. Des clichés de feux de forêt, de protestations, de répressions policières, des clichés qui constituent l'actualité et que nous consultons quotidiennement et souvent de manière machinal. Son geste artistique met en évidence la constante interaction que nous entretenons avec notre téléphone et évoque la réalité collective de millions d'humains constamment attirés par leurs écrans et qui à force de recevoir un flot incessant d'informations en constant renouvellement, oublie peu à peu qu'ils participent aussi au monde physiquement et collectivement. Le livre est accompagné d'un essai écrit par Jia Tolentino, rédactrice pour le New Yorker et autrice de la collection d'essais intitulée Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion. Soren est une artiste visuelle pluridisciplinaire depuis plus 25 ans, elle s'est longtemps intéressée au croisement entre la culture, la politique, le corps et la psychologie. Elle vit et travaille en Californie, et son travail a intégré de nombreuses collections privées dans le monde (notamment des collections muséales dont le LACMA, The Getty, Harvard Art Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, Eastman Museum of Photography, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Pier 24).

The portrait which Basil Hallward painted of Dorian Gray revealed the face of an Adonis, and when he saw the finished picture of himself, the beautiful young aesthete exclaimed: "Why should it keep what I must lose? Every moment that passes takes something from me, and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now!" His perverse aspiration was strangely fulfilled. Abandoning himself to every sin which his profligate mind could devise, the wealthy and exquisite young man brought misery and disgrace on all who accepted his companionship, but Dorian Gray still wore the outward appearance of serene beauty. It was upon the portrait, locked away in his attic, that the marks of degeneration mysteriously appeared, for the painting of Adonis slowly transformed into the likeness of a satyr.
