Art making-Re-make up 1996

I am dealing in my work with the relationship between the concept of the "Ready- made"

and Art-making" which is connected with reproduction.

I collected black & white photography from magazines and drawing over them using black marker.

The photography image features mostly Hollywood stars, top models, and musicians.

The lines and marks I made distort the image. To introduce an element of chance, I attack these images using my left hand.

The original image and black lines are related to each other.

This defacing of the ready-made image results in a black and white drawing.

Magazine images: Ready-made

Black line drawing: Art-Making

In this process of "Re-make up", I am trying to find a relationship between the power of reproduction

and basic Art-making.

I am struggling with the question of Art-making in the context of ready-made reproduction.

I would like to make visible the force of" Re-makeup"
