WANTED / GESUCHT
Mixed Media
One hundred seventy four portraits, in different sizes
Book, 20 limited edition, 174 pages, 16 x 23.2 x 2 cm, 2019
The project “Wanted” consists of 174 portraits and a book.
In this project, I asked my friends and people around me to describe my personality and visual characteristics.
Finally, I itemized people’s descriptions of me and created a poster asking people to create a portrait using only
this information. The posters were created in two languages, German and English. I distributed the posters in
digital format and in print by hanging them on walls in different parts of the world.
After receiving an undercover email ‘‘wanted.artistinresearch@gmail.com’’ and spreading posters, I received 174
portraits from different people with different backgrounds and experiences.
In addition, I made a book with portraits and email correspondence.
