Faces of Evil
Hamburg Das Comitee 2008 Première édition. Signée par l'auteur. Un livre de photos intéressant. Une jaquette immaculée sur des planches cartonnées gaufrées crème immaculées et propres. Ce qui semble être des photographies de dictateurs est en fait des images composites d'individus du pays d'origine du dictateur. "Entre novembre 2007 et mars 2008, nous avons photographié plus de 350 personnes sur......... C'est de là que sont nés les treize FACES OF EVIL, assemblés à partir de visages de personnes de la même origine ethnique que les dictateurs en question. Par exemple, le portrait d'Hitler est composé de 37 personnes. Son nez appartient à un agent immobilier de Berlin, sa lèvre supérieure à un serrurier de Dresde. Ses cheveux ont été assemblés à partir de ceux d'un artiste de Weiden et d'un peintre de Bamberg. Le menton est celui d'un restaurateur de Hambourg, les yeux sont ceux d'un conseiller bancaire de Francfort, les sacs lacrymaux sont ceux d'un mécanicien de précision de Bautzen, la gorge est celle d'un banquier viennois...." L'artiste estime que les dictateurs émergent "parce que la société les a autorisés, parfois même encouragés à faire le mal". Cela suggère qu'une multitude de visages de complices actifs et passifs se cachent derrière le visage de chaque dictateur. Alors que tout le monde s'accorde à dire "plus jamais ça" après la fin d'un règne de terreur, l'histoire montre que de nouveaux tyrans peuvent être autorisés à accéder au pouvoir encore et encore, dans toutes les parties du monde. Chaque photographie est accompagnée d'un bref essai sur le sujet, en allemand puis en anglais. 119 pages. 31,5 cm x 25 cm.
First edition. Signed by the author. An interesting photo-book. Immaculate dust wrapper over immaculate clean cream embossed hardback boards. What appears to be photographs of dictators is actually composite images of individuals from the dictator's homeland. "Between November, 2007 and March, 2008, we took photographs of over 350 people in......... From them emerged the thirteen FACES OF EVIL, assembled from faces of people of the same ethnic origin as the according dictators. For example, the portrait of Hitler consists of 37 people. His nose belongs to an estate agent from Berlin, his upper lip to a locksmith in Dresden. His hair is put together from the hair of an artist in Weiden and a painter in Bamberg. The chin stems from a Hamburg restaurant owner, the eyes are those of a bank advisor in Frankfurt, the lachrymal sacks are from a precision mechanic in Bautzen, the throat is that of a Viennese banker...." So what is the point ? the artist believes dictators emerge "Because society allowed them, sometimes even encouraged them to do their evil. This suggests that a multitude of faces of active and passive accomplices stand behind the face of every dictator. Whilst everyone joins in to say "Never again!" after a reign of terror has ended, history shows that new tyrants can be allowed to rise to power again and again, in all parts of the world." Each of the photograph has a brief essay about the subject, in German and then in English. 119 pages. 31.5cm x 25cm. .
