"AV Defekt"

"In this compelling and haunting self-portrait, J. Konrad Schmidt strips away all concealment of a medical condition he has had from childhood, and uses it to make a powerfuly revealing piece of art, inviting the viewer quite literally into his head. The project was done for an exhibition in Berlin. The theme was ‘Reduction’. " Text by recom Berlin “The picture reduces me to my illness… created from parts of my x-rays, which were made in the deep sleep of anaesthesia.” Text by me Linkt to the project: http://jkonradschmidt.com/#/works/av- defekt_portrait-projekt/
