Porträt Women 23 Photograph

On the hunt for the perfect selfie. You want to post your perfect picture. Each filter serves to make the image look better to feel better. The realism is mixed with the fantasy. Reality is hidden. Inspired by the selfie culture and portrait painting, he deals with self-expression. To examine questions of identity, staging, transience, forms of communication and reality. To question them too. In his pictures he likes to mix realism with fantasy. He never has a finished idea in mind when he is working. For him, the unpredictable, as well as the spontaneous, is an important part of his work. He sees a connection to portraiture. This originally served a need that SELFIES cover today: namely, to see oneself represented in public as an individual. Selfies are part of our everyday life. Even those who don't take quick photos of themselves are surrounded by them in all sorts of media. The selfie moves in the field of tension between the private sphere and the public, between the private moment of a snapshot and self-portrayal on the internet. As with selfies, it's never just about showing, but also always about hiding. Filters and other techniques are ultimately there to recapture a piece of privacy by constantly showing them. Picture titles are the immediate interface between verbal language and visual art. Some expand the viewer's knowledge with new information, fixate the gaze on individual areas and thus create the image viewing. Selfies do not have this claim to a caption. For this reason he gives his pictures a number in order to resolve this claim with a picture title.
