Recycled Portraits 1st Series
These are photographs taken of a video art work by Jesse Jones called "The Selfish Act of Community" from 2012, currently shown in the exhibition "Salon der Angst" at the Kunsthalle in Vienna, Austria.
This first series of photographs, I took directly of the wall the video was projected on, whereas the second series are photographs of a reflection of the video in a large window to one of the sides of the projection wall.
I converted the images into black and white and added a blur effect as well as a strong contrast which often blows out the whites and turns large areas of the image into black deleting everything else than the face of the person from the image.
