Project Description

The composed mega portraits are irritating. Face Cartography  is the Swiss publicity and coverage photographer’s newest project. He cartographies faces. Instead of taking pictures himself, he removes himself out of the process by delegating the work to an ABB industrial robot driven by a control software, which was written exclusively for this task. The standardized portraits have a surprising impact. Each picture consists of about 600 single shots with a size of 900 million pixels. The result is hyper realistic. A stubble turns into a trunk, a wrinkle into a canyon, the nostril into a cavern. These facial landscapes are dismaying – why? Emotions are completely missing. Emotions show up only briefly while Macro photography takes half an hour. The person has to stay motionless while being photographed by the robot. (read more)

Mit seiner Portraitserie Gesichtslandschaften des 21. Jahrhunderts betritt Daniel Boschung (CH) neue Wege in der Portraitfotografie. Mit Hilfe eines Roboterarms kartographiert er Gesichter. Die aus 600 Makrobildern zusammengesetzten Portraits haben eine ultra hohe Auflösung von 900 Megapixeln und wirken durch ihre Schärfe auf den Betrachter irritierend, da sie ganz neue Sichtweisen erschliessen und bestehende Intimgrenzen der Nähe durchbrechen. Realität und Virtualität vermischen sich und lösen zwischen dem Instinkt und dem  Verstand des Betrachters einen Wahrnehmungskonflikt aus. (weiter lesen)
