SELFPORTRAITS

A series of self-portraits realized through scan photography, illustration, and projection. The choice of color and abstract forms create sensory and expressive images that enhance certain aspects of my personality.

​

Scanning can be seen as an alternative to classic photography that generates a coincidental representation of a current moment. Depending on the distance, proximity, and movement a very intuitive form of working is achieved. The result is mystic imagery in remembrance of vanity and glamour.

​

Painting onto these scans in the next step gives a sense of oddity and absurdness towards them. What would I look like if the illustrations of myself were actually me? Therefore they are projected onto my face which creates an interesting analogy of reality and fantasy.
