Portrait series question identity in three-artist show
The exhibition 'Folie à deux : a Work in Progress' at an unspecified venue presents Friederike van Lawick and Hans Müller's ongoing series begun in 1990, which challenges the logical principle of identity and the ethical principle of singular existence. Their portraits transform one artist's face through sixteen poses into another's. Polish artist Zbigniew Bajek explores subjective identity and humanity in his series 'Turbulences', 'Selon le livre de Tobie', and 'Tatouages'. Florence Chevallier's series 'Commun des mortels' examines the body's gestures and generative function as common to mortal beings.
