  • inkjet print on plywood board
  • 99 x 176 cm
  • Installation photo by Dávid Biró

  • The print is made by enlarging a found reproduction of a porcelain Atlas figure. The fact that the image is built up by the arrangement of dots, correlates with the sign structure of maps as they create the sense of an areal view.

    Possible works for Leopold Bloom shortlist exhibition | 2013 - 2018

The proposal for the shortlist exhibition includes separate works, but dealing with the same phenomenon: the different aspects of the photographic medium in reproducing artworks. What is the role of photography in our knowledge of art history and how it transforms a unique piece of artwork to reproducible data. With these works I strive to make visible the transparency of the medium.
