Self Orchestration - Text in English





Self Orchestration:

a - transparent – 2 Pigment-prints on Tranparent Paper, 2 Glasses, Metal - 57,0 x 71,5 cm
b - toilet paper - 4 Laserjet-prints on Toilet Paper - 9,5 x 12,0 cm
c - 4 Pigment-prints - 34,5 x 43,3 cm
(2011)

How could one further deal with the theme, "Self-Portrait" or "Artist in Picture"? This theme has been constantly handled since Albrecht Dürer from the 15th Century.

Three large mirrors are arranged in my Studio. When a picture is taken there, there are different perspectives seen at the same time, and it seems like there are also different "I" being taken. I placed myself and the camera in various places in my studio, so that I can take the photos from different angles.

The camera catches light into its rectangular box and it let us take a picture, in which will later be printed on top of rectangular surface.

The Motif are printed on different types of material to give a new perspective and a language to the picture.
