Portrait Of A Man

4-channel video loops, different lengths (2:03 min, 1:29 min, 2:01 min, 3:11 min), no sound, 2007

A portrait of at first sight the same person gradually changes in anatomy and expression into different characters questioning the relationship between character and physiognomy.

In each of the four video loops the face undergoes different changes. So the four video channels show always new combinations.
