“The textured and fragmented anatomy used in these images brings forth what is deeply human. While we will attempt to merely fixate on the photographs presented to us, the focus will begin to turn inwards, often to feelings of solitude, awareness of social construct, and relationships weaved with the sweet bliss of nostalgia. Comparable to the works of Rene Magritte and Hans Bellmer, the images and props such as hairpieces, pantyhose, pumps, and more will arouse insight into conventional sensations of intrusive forms of objectivity and subjectivity, which truly evokes and enhances embodied spectatorship.”-mOckup

neckontheline: The Danish artist and former crime-scene photographer has been mutilating the human form with his photographic sleights-of-hand for years. This image is one of many where he takes the able body and modifies it into mutilation. I find the fashion aspect of his work in conjunction with his concept fascinating, yet disturbing at the same time. He is using his skills to change the normality of human beings to better his work. No doubt his crime scene past has affected his choice, but that choice a moral one? In a sense it could be argued he is depicting disabled people, or those with amputees in order to better his work. This would then be seen as victimisation. On the contrary, after reading an interview with him I understand him to be actively breaking ‘normal’ and ‘beautiful’ stereotypes through challenging the photography with his work. As a disabled artist himself, I can totally relate to his mindset; what is beautiful after all? interesting—-at what what point does creative expression tied to the photographic display of others become exploitative?

It seems clear that at some level this pathology is not only dermatological, but cultural, commenting, perhaps, on the gradual but waxing loss of identity and the means of communication in a technological environment that promotes anonymity and conformity”.  —Adrian W.B.

digitaldenial: More from Summer 2010. Four friends, four bicycles, four cameras, and 530 kms of rural Manitoba back roads. A week’s worth of hunting for ghost towns and abandoned farmsteads. We met mosquitos that hummed several pitches lower than what you expect to year out of those guys (they were a lot bigger, too), and camped through one of the craziest thunder storms I’ve ever experienced. And we only got chased down by the border patrol on suspicion of having illegally crossed the border from the states into Canada once!
