Museum Visitors 1:8

2008

In the end, people are made smaller to scale and modelled from layers of plaster and pigment, then to be found in different poses and dress in different situations in exhibitions and living rooms. And all of them know that when the digital take is over, they will each reappear as a figure at pains to strike a pose that is their own: an unlimited series of variations on three dimensional self-portraits from the digital era. Since as participants in the project “Unlimited” they are also actors in an art-market event, they, so to speak, come into their own – as an exhibit piece.
