My original tumblr post was here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Δ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Δ 065 Illuminated Love Network.” Here is what Bacchus found.

The source Tumblr post in this image’s current chain of Tumblr attributions offers a surprisingly good provenance for this image:

A NETWORK OF LOVE (2008): a network of love depicts a highly sexualized slice-of-life of the average girl, OIIOOOFF2013, in a post-apocalyptic future:

“sun rises on a devastated earth. the last children of eve struggle to maintain their digital lifestyles. global trade has long since ground to a halt, and our infrastructure lays in ruins. the old systems of power have collapsed and from these ashes, a new society rises, a networkoflove.”

human, electroluminescent technology, plastics, sound performance at exit art, new york city august 1, 2008 starring: helga wretman

The references are to a performance by Berlin-based performance artist Helga Wretman. The block-quoted information above comes from the photo’s source location on Flickr, where the the further caption also appears: “Starring Helga Wretman as OIIOOOFF2013. An Average girl of the not-so-distance future. ALL WE HAVE LEFT IS EACH OTHER.”

The entire performance — and the stand-alone art installation which was repurposed into the setting for it — is documented in this Flickr photograph series by photographer Ruaminx. The series of photos is captioned: “Etapa Del Funcionamiento (Segundo), 2008. Installation at Exit Art, NYC July 24th-August 31st, 2008. This piece evolved into a Stage for “Network of Love”, A collaborative effort with Helga Wertman and Aids-3d.com for a one night performance on August 1st, 2008.”

Here is an additional photograph from the Flickr photo series of the performance:
