Europeana Print

My starting point is a relief figure from ancient Iraq. The installation consists of a modelled figure in stoneware clay and a version digitalised by scanning that is subsequently printed in a plaster-like material. With the newest technology you can digitalise an object by 3D scanning and rematerialize it though 3D print. I remodelled the figure in stoneware clay and aimed for an expression where traces of handprints were visible. This sculpture was subsequently burned at 1200°C. The second printed figure may be seen as a reflected image of this. It consists of a completely white material and as the vector-based technology cannot render the ceramic surface, the impression is “pixled” and digital. The ancient figure represents an extinct civilisation that is nevertheless kept for posterity. It is modelled in a durable material and shows traces of the human handprint. It is a great paradox that this culture is so thoroughly documented and so well known several thousand years after its extinction! The figure stares bewildered at its banalised mirror image represented by modern technology!
