facebook Painting

Facebook is the name of this picture in a series that consists of many other small pictures. I've been painting this series for 13 years. Small portraits of no one and everyone are created again and again. It is the question that interests me: who am I? Or who are we? The well-known author and philosopher David Precht formulated the question: "Who am I? And if so, how many"....Hahaha. If you are interested in this series, just go to my website under pdf. There's a catalog for it. "Whether we want it or not, we construct the image that others have of us through our own viewing. Our network image is created when the images we open ourselves to reveal to others what moves us. The looks we cast actually don't leave us at all, they stick to us, they shape our own face - immediately, quickly and raw - just like the painting in Susanne Husemann's Facebook pictures." Christoph Poche "Susanne Husemann takes up the face as an outer shell with her Facebook series, which shows faces as interior spaces, so to speak. External facial features are covered by images, ethnographic masks, film still quotations, landscape segments, animal motifs, abstract tachistic traces, just as if an inner eye were sketching out scenery, while the exterior remains without function."
