ORNAMENTS
In the Ornaments series, triangular photo-fragments of parliaments are digitally mirrored to form hexagonal patterns reminiscent of honeycombs or kaleidoscopes.
In every hexagonal cell, one discerns tiny politicians running their country. The spherical illusion created by the patterns heightens the images‘ sense of autonomy. The series turns parliaments into selfreferential systems, in which, as in ‘art for art’s sake’, politics is practiced for the sake of politics.
Two separate illusions of depth are formed in an Ornaments image: on first sight, one sees a flat pattern that appears to be projected onto a sphere. On closer examination, however, the pattern turns out to be constructed from a photograph which has its own illusion of depth.
