Michael Mapess Dissected PortraitsBy Kaushik Wednesday, June 06,
2012 Art n Design, Photography No comments
New York based artist Michael Mapes creates elaborate portraits
by dissecting photographs and reconstructing them onceagain to
recreate the original image, but with a unique twist.
Each final piece is made up of thousands of individual specimens
consisting of dissected photographs and genetic informationabout
the subject in the form of hair, fingernails, scent, eyelashes,
fingerprints, makeup, handwriting and breath. Therepresentations of
his subjects are dissected and then reconstructed through artistic
interpretation invoking entomological,forensic and artistic
methods.
