Just came back from Art Brussels, an annual contemporary art fair now at its 30th year, which brings together hundreds of art galleries from all over the world under one roof.
It’s the Martinaesbaek gallery from Copenhagen that caught my eyes with its digital photomontages by Martin Liebscher.
This Berlin-based artist creates infinite self portraits in different environments. Here he filled up an entire theater with thousands of different representations of himself.
We can debate for hours over the heavy subjects: vanity, loss of identity, diversity of the self. I personally enjoyed the playful “where’s Wally?” effect, It was amusing to search for all the different behaviors in the frame. Two Martins talking, another one adjusting the light… I leave you to discover the details for yourself.
