Application text:

The theme that unites all my works is time. I use my own digital photos to create images that are usually part of larger artworks. What you see here are just the prints, made the way I am now doing more and more: transfer printing on painted surfaces and then disguise them as artifacts weathered by time. For me the printing process I use now with digital images, is as important as creating a print from a negative like I used to do in a darkroom.

The works I create that way are fake, they are forgeries of artworks that have never existed. Or maybe they will, one day, in the future.

To the rest of the text I send with the images…

Talking about the birds

There is this thing about birds, that if they are used to symbolize humans in a composition/painting/collage – we do accept them as humans, there is nothing alien about them, no uncanny valley stuff at all. And at the same time they mostly do not really bring their own character- or so I think.

I have the impression that if I were to use other animals then we have more of an idea of what that animal symbolizes. Insects are NOT human, they are a danger and mammals are surrounded by the stories we heard about them in our childhoods or what they mean for us as food or their economic meaning or as pets. They immediately have character, or symbolize something.

At first I have used humans made from 3D puppets in my artworks, but even though I still like those works, it was also too flat. I have also made works with pictures of real humans and tried to use their stories in my artworks but then it became too personal for a couple of them and therefore I stopped having permission to use these compositions in exhibitions or for sale.

Birds have no baggage, they are not us – some say they are not even real – they are beautiful reptiles with wings. This makes them ideal to use as characters in my future compositions because we can somehow identify or bond with them or ascribe them human qualities, emotions or so – but they are also not us, they are neutral. I could also use reptiles, I think, but I have more pictures with birds in them.

Creampie 2015-1 – Archeological dig rusted

A picture of the Creampie, a very intelligent animal that can be seen everywhere around here, but their intelligence seems to be only used for pleasure. They are not shy and are not hindered by speciesism and they always reciprocate. Ah, the fun I had with them when I was young …

Mushwa

I was totally inspired by reddit’s /r/fifthworldgonewild  sub [warning: NSFW] and started making more and more porno for aliens. It is liberating in more than one way: it broadens horizons of what is considered sexual and sexy, it promotes diversity to also include the aliens among us, and it humbles me because I have to admit that there is so much more that makes my juices flowing than I ever thought possible (as you see on this page: pears can be so …. yummy). I collect them on my tumblr and I hope to make many more of them.
