A printed VCD cover for Hot Butterfly – Album 1, a Punjabi mujra compilation from the early 2000s. Designed as pure visual bait, the artwork features two performers surrounded by butterflies, floral graphics, and glittering digital effects—hallmarks of the VCD softcore aesthetic. These compilations typically featured dance numbers filmed in living rooms, gardens, rooftops, and production sets across Lahore, stitched together without narrative structure. The gold-toned plastic frame adds a clean finish while nodding subtly to the CD cover’s humble mass-market origins.

Exhibited in “Spasial Program” at SculptureCenter, New York, June 18 –July 28, 2025. 

Availability: Free pickup on July 29 at the SculptureCenter, or shipping available upon request (price excludes shipping).
