About The Artwork
The two images "Cis Standing Girl" and "Trans Standing Girl" are separate individual images that somehow belong together and yet are separate. They were exhibited separately at CONTEMPORARY VENICE - 13TH EDITION, Venice | December 15, 2023 - January 05, 2024. Cis STANDING GIRL — Hommage to Egon Schiele „Cis“ means this side. It is the place I know, where I am and where I stand. The „Cis“ picture shows what is probably Egon Schiele‘s most famous picture, entitled „Standing Girl“. Schiele‘s picture is a charcoal drawing, a well-known technique, and it shows Gerti, Schiele‘s sister. The painting „Cis“ by Fru is a photograph of a young woman named Emily. However, the photograph looks like a painting and therefore also claims to be based on reality. Alt-hough we know that photographs have always and especially to-day rarely depicted reality better than painting, it is considered proof of reality. The picture „Cis“ also shows a reality: the reality of the painting on the paper dress and Emily‘s body painting. Admit-tedly, this is some-what difficult to understand. That‘s why the video shows the creation process. „Trans“ is always beyond, on the other, opposite side. In her book about Egon Schiele, Jane Kalif describes his uncom-promising honesty in his depiction of female sexuality, which is still disturbing and shocking after a hundred years. From today‘s honest perspective, we must recognize that sexuality and gender identities each exist on a fluid spectrum beyond the binary. Making of film: https://youtu.be/LhjPhH93U48 Environment, styling, body painting, photography, individual and slightly varying digital post-processing and frame of the scroll pic-ture were done entirely by the artist. The originals are fine art prints with LUCIA pigment ink on canvas and are signed by artist.

fru (Beat Frutiger), born in 1952 in Bern, lives in Kaiseraugst near Basel and worked as a art teacher from 1981 until his retirement in 2013. He publishes under the pseudonym fru.ch. Influenced by performances of the 1970s, Zen art and training as a make-up artist, fru has been combining body painting, photography and Zen art in a unique way. His art is a play between the photographic image that represents reality and the painting or sculpture that embodies an ideal. Since his training in 1981, his creativity has been concerned with the deconstruction of fine art, body art and photography for a reconfiguration of the elements into a result in which the image is, as in Zen teachings, "the finger pointing at the moon".
