MARGARETHA

'Margaretha' (2013)
119x87x11cm

In a new series of femmes fatales this is Margaretha or to be precise: Margaretha 'Griet' Zelle aka Mata Hari. Based upon a handcolored photograph from about 1900 when Mata Hari was in her prime as an exotic/erotic artist.

The series femmes fatales focuses on the 'blurry' world of eroticism and (political) power.
The resulting pixel-sculptures seem to represent the classic pin-up rather then the specific historical persons.

RUDE SCULPTURE

'Rude Sculpture (Scheiß Skulptur)' (2013)

Another exercise in censored imagery: what we are (not) allowed to see and what we chose to ignore.

CURVEBALL

'Curveball' (draft for sculpture) (2013)

EVIDENCE : DECADE

Today exactly ten years ago a Coalition led by the US invaded Iraq. 

Weeks before Secretary of State Colin Powell had presented the UN Security Council evidence of the existence of Weapons Of Mass Destruction in Iraq, posing an immediate threat to world peace. The evidence consisted mainly of artist's impressions.

The very moment the first bombs hit Baghdad -the kick off for Operation Iraqi Freedom- alternative EVIDENCE was uploaded and published on the World Wide Web. However these alternative EVIDENCE files were based upon "Scheherazade", the fairy tales of 1001 Arabian Nights.
The last of these files were published when Baghdad was taken by the Coalition Forces.

A few years back I published a selection of the alternative EVIDENCE files in a paperback.
The book is almost entirely filled with illustrations with a short introduction on the origin of these files.
It can be ordered at amazon.com or in the Green Onion online shop (... or simply by sending an email or message).
