Edition
The below images are a part of my series ‘Contemporary Art’ (2016 – 2018) and are taken from the pages of art-auctionhouse catalogues.
I photographed these pages (analog on 4 x 5″ negative) in front of a lightbox. They show artworks by mostly well known artists – morphing together as one ghostlike image they are not just their own representation anymore.
The reproduction of the reproduction (my work) goes into a dialogue with these existing works and what they represent.
The images question authorship, authenticity and status and value.
I made a special edition and the sales profits will benefit the funding for an upcoming book I am working on.
