I am painting the "algorithm - self " here: Our digital self is constantly changing our "analog" self and creates an intermediate world.

 

In this work I combine old and traditional painting methods such as pyrography and traditional photo templates with newer airbrush painting and 3D scans as templates.

​

In 2020, two members of my former theater collective organized the "Hygiene" demonstrations  in Berlin ( anti covid  measures ) and founded the right open newspaper "Demokratischer Widerstand". That shocked us. Almost everyone immediately distanced themselves. However, a small group positioned themselves further right,  including  Ilia, a Russian writer who also writes for the "Demokratischer Widerstand".

​

Since I already painted him in 2018, I used the old photo templates and painted him again in 2020/2021. This time I also made  3D scans of him and painted the other half of the portraits from the glitchy scans
