Unknown/Known (Diptych), 2007, Caroline de Vries
Digital C-type print
My practice is principally focused on questioning the nature and physicality of the photograph, using strategies of seriality, comparisons or decontextualisations.
The appropriation of a portrait leads to the possession of, or creative responsibility for, the subject. A portrait has the capacity to incorporate external life because it has an autonomous existence apart from the sitter. By revealing the likeness of two strangers, trespassing boundaries of temporality and spatiality, this diptych aspires to represent the ephemeral possibility of a smaller, more intimate and fictitious world.
