DESCRIPTION
mini mes - circles of stripes (self staging)
On first sight, the viewer finds shapes or figures - inspired by J.M. Flagg’s army recruiter deciding about young men’s future („I want You“)-, that seem to dissolve in space.
Layers merge, the focus shifts.
The human body becomes an element in a graphic puzzle, deconstructed and rebuilt, forming a digit-/ and letter-like look and feel.
Beba Lindhorst stages and photographs herself with the help of a self-timer, prints and cuts herself out in a mini version.
This little, fragmented doll interacts with itself reflecting inner conflicts, pushes and pulls, loses and helps, jumps and falls. The lack of color additionally complicates the clear localization in space. A riddle of forms and levels.
dodecadons, 60 x 60 cm, HD Chroma Metal Print
