Without Title (Prints on Plasterboard)



Without Title (drawings), 2015
UV print on plasterboard
1200 x 400 mm

These drawings depict cinema actors/characters as well as plumbing parts.
I am interested in acting and in actors in particular for their ability to
pretend and/or lie. Movie actors hold a privileged position in society as
they are put on a pedestal and are generally seen as being interesting
and important. I have selected scenes from movies at a moment when
the characters were surprised. Most of us don’t have a particular interest
in plumbing parts or screws and they are generally overlooked. Nevertheless
they play a crucial role in supplying of water in housings.
With this work, I am interested to present together movie characters and
plumbing spare parts on the same level and allow them to influence each
other on the way we perceive them. They were initially drawn on carbon
paper before they were printed on plasterboard.
