I Create Digital Portraits Using Walls With Torn Posters As Backgrounds

ADVERTISEMENT

My series “Paper work” started in 2010. I focus on matter and textures – the intricate physical details of materials.

My first creative step consists of hunting for concrete “stuff” that I photograph and use as raw material for my digital creations. Inspired by Jacques Villeglé and Raymond Hains, I’m especially fond of such torn posters as can be found on municipal cultural information boards. I particularly relish zinc advertisement panels freshly cleaned up by city employees and still exhibiting a few shredded remnants of the posters that used to be there. Such details are captured, digitized, and later integrated into multi-layered digital montages. Ultimately, those montages themselves are used as backgrounds for stencilled portraits of various, often iconic, characters.
