Digital C-prints

 

For my commissioned portraits, I usually get asked by the subjects if I can do some post-processing, in particular on the skin, in order to make them look better.

Taking this desire for perfection as a starting point, I wanted to subvert the idea of the portrait by creating abstractions, using cloned parts of the face, and randomly disposing them on a blank background.

While image manipulation has become more and more acceptable and, in many cases, a necessary part of image-making, we’re still debating how far we are allowed to go, ethically and realistically.

By only presenting some dots (many of them containing a flaw), I wanted to create abstractions of portraits, where the final image is not revealed and can only be constructed in the viewer’s mind.
