Title: Faxman
" Beauty and Uglyness"
I'll show, with my Fax-copy machine and the manipulations of the scanner, to create and mix new images with a model, found in magazines.
I clone faces and bodys, writting too, and it appaer new effect, new digital images,
like a DJ who mix and transform differents Musics, I use the technology to Create a new image and style.
Often I clone celebritys , and for me its a tribute to Mikael J. too use his face.
His face start black to finish white and cloned.
Beauty to uglyness.
