A Different Portrait for the Wall Painting

The point of departure of the project is the tradition of hanging portraits on the walls in many apartments/houses. Two eyes, a nose (two holes), a mouth (two lips) and two ears are constructed piece by piece in the formation of the holey surface of the neutralized organism on an organized surface. In this project, I adapt old and specific blended semiotics to make a yet undetermined muter regime, “a real that is yet to come.” After interrogating and eliminating all non-visual forces (religious, social, political, and cultural codes) from the face, and playing upon a fundamental forgetting, what remains is the other function of the structure, which is to be hung on a wall. I construct provocative, and informal human-like portraits, aiming for something more deliberate that gets interrupted, possessing the capacity to transcend the unfamiliarity, and rendering the image accessible if not personal or familiar. The title of the works determines the number of paintings, by which they are reintroduced to their context.
