Doppelgänger
Fascinated by a slightly disproportioned copy of the Crouching Venus at Wörlitzer Park, I began collecting historical postcards of her depictions – mostly collotype prints or real photographs. The various figures: originals, copies, and copies of copies, differ in larger and smaller gestures, in perspective, in the base, and in broken body parts. I am fascinated by the idealized view of the female body over time, but also by the act and motif of the copy itself. For these silkscreen prints, I scanned, enlarged, exposed, and printed several of these postcards on top of each other in varying shades of black, grey, and white. During the printing process, I deliberately included blanks and errors to open up or close off views of the bodies and gestures, to fragment the bodies even more. All of the prints are unique.
