Cognitive Self(-portrait) (2010)

The photo below was just a concept or better a model of the intended work (which has been done during my exhibition from June -July 2014 -> please see the results at Stitching Nature).
Imagine – you are going into this museum or this special gallery and then you are standing in front of a picture with a full-size person on it. This person has a look at a photograph with a full-size person on it (and so on). In every picture you recognize the same set. Your brain recognizes the pattern and tries to continue it automatically (brains just do such things :) In this exact moment you see yourselves as the next person in the picture hanging on the wall. Maybe you even turn around to search for the camera. You generated a self-portrait .

Isn't it amazing that a human being is able to restore oneself in others?

The work is based on "Gödel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hofstadter
