Profile Vogue
A series of images designed using the forms of default profle pictures.
The original was taken and manipulated repeatedly to generate various “poses”, then painted large scale. Each of the paintings were 4”w x 4”h, some were painted on stretched canvas, others were painted directly on the walls.
Presented as part of Tempologue, the grand opening event of Lui at L’Aiglon, an exhibition/event space in Geneva, CH.

Lui (lœy) is the group as the number of more or less associated people are, never accounting any defined number, but rather — more or less — in its activity with the potential form of laziness, inhering a space for new possibilities, as a movement that circulates from affinities and friends to new encounters and relations toward and within the event. By supporting a collaborative activity within a space that is opening itself up to and at the same time always already preferring not to be or do, “Lui” is driven by its relations and desire, and perhaps events that have not taken place yet. As a home or a root, as the plant that will be watered by your neighbour while your on vacation, for that it can branch out in all sorts of directions. In Dutch dialect “Lui” is as much an expression for the number of more or less associated people as much as it is an expression for laziness.
