2013:
Black Plastic Portraits

Misrepresentations was a process of working with material by covering, cutting, borrowing, combining, taping and recycling. In the process, the authors modifyed material surfaces, behind which seeing did not change the message of the image. The starting point was emotion from exposure to surfaces attractiveness. Misrepresentations as a word refers to the false or deceptive portrayal of a topic. It can also be interpreted as an artificial claim or an unfair narrative. The works in the exhibition were part of a structural narrative that is present almost everywhere. However, making them created a free space in which the lack of content has been worked into something meaningful.
