    The Cumulative Self | 2010 - 2017

In the works of serie Cumulative Self I examined the ephemeral aspects of human existence. In Cumulative Self I. I created a portrait of my grandmother by superimposong more than a hundred images of her. In Cumulative Self II. I dealt with the personal detection of time by contrasting photos from the past with the physical present. The illusion of the projected photos appeared to me to be linked to the inward nature of time, in contrast of my model’s present which seemed to me like the embodiment of the empirically detectable time. The Cumulative Self video reveals the method of superimposing the photos.
