Caspar Berger (1965)
Self-Portrait 5 / IMAGO
2007 | bronze | 65 × 70 × 30 cm
Caspar Berger is interested in exploring our skin as the boundary between our inner and outer self, which he does here by turning his own inside out.
To make this bronze sculpture, Berger started by applying a layer of silicon to his bare upper body and head. Once it dried, he peeled off this second skin and turned it inside out again so that when he poured the bronze, his facial expressions would be on the inside of the sculpture’s head.
