surrogates, 2022: analogue black and white prints on baryta paper, framed, 92×62 cm

experimental super 8 film, 3’17, stereo, 2023/24

an experimental film about the suspended state of mind when unintentional memories hit the conscious and leave you in a blurry feeling between closeness and uncertainty. shot on super 8 film, these images were transformed by a chemical reaction during development that resulted in a unique change in colour, impossible to reproduce. it displays fragile emotional fragments beyond clear ideas, a state of pause, gradually merging fragments of reality into subconscient.

Eyebrows are a crucial element of nonverbal communication, as they define someone’s facial expressions and permit us to read emotions from a greater distance. In public, people often tend to avoid expressing big emotional reactions or hide their true emotional state behind set phrases or superficialities.

In this work, collected eyebrow hairs are used as material for emotional communication in form of a text. The large format photograph of the actually placed hairs brings public attention to a subtle personal message amongst loud and colourful advertisements.
