Cosmic Surgery
19Sep12
Alma Haser’s Cosmic Surgery series combines Haser’s love of photography with the art of origami with startling results. What appears to be normal family photos take on an eerie quality at her touch. This just might the cure for those really bad photos we all have of ourselves. But first, origami lessons. pb
From the artist’s website..
“The series has three distinct stages. Firstly Alma photographs her sitter, then prints multiple images of the subjects face and folds them into a complicated origami modular construction, which then gets placed back onto the original face of the portrait. Finally the whole thing is re-photographed.
With the simple act of folding an image Alma can transform each face and make a sort of flattened sculpture. By de-facing her models she has made their portraits into her own creations.”
