Diptychs

Diptychs (2022) is a series of 50 photographic diptychs comprised of self-portraits next to objects, landscapes and abstract images. The work offers a form of visual pathetic fallacy through the interplay of similarities in the images. The self-portraits evoke human attributes in the inanimate objects and landscapes, whilst the form and structure of the inanimate images draw parallels with the bodily positions. The two images mimic each other, reflecting and highlighting the pairs’ symbiotic visual relationships.

The series of 50 diptychs are also presented in a self-published hardback book, with covered design by Lind Haugaard. The publication is A4 landscape format, 102 pages and the first edition of 25 are all numbered and hand signed.
