Are your collages made with photoshop or are they real paper? I love them.
thank you so much! for your nice words and the cool question. most of my collages are equally analog and digital products. at this point I have a huge collection of photo books at home that I found on the street as well as boxes of magazines from the 80s and 90s. I also spend a great deal of time at the library where I copy the rather not so easy to find stuff like male nudes or large-scale portraits, etc. these are basically my pools of resources. the actual procedure is that I go through these pools and look for a centerpiece that I wanna build a narrative around. I then continue to look for additional material that goes well with it, cut out and scan everything I need, simply to have the option to use stuff more often than just for one piece. when this is done I put everything together, either by hand or digitally, and eventually scan it again and do little edits here and there and before I get it printed.
I explain this so elaborately because of the archival work that is put into play here. It is of importance to me to trace back, do a little history homework and bring together a new reality, but also on a more personal level, ever since I’ve been dealing with those existential issues I wanted to leave something rather physical behind and not just a gmail account and a tumblr blog. It feels also bizarre but cool to go through those softporn/gay erotic books at the library and try to pull apart certain pages of those books that are miraculously stuck together.
