Christian Borstlap (1975)
SELF, What are we made of
2019 | approx. 190 mirrors on MDF boards |
SELF refers to today’s obsession with selfies. But while the technology has changed, the practice of self-observation actually goes back centuries.
Christian Borstlap got his idea for SELF, where you can take 190 selfies through an installation of mirrors, from Rembrandt’s numerous self-portraits. Rembrandt made more brutally honest ‘selfies’ than any other great artist before him – or since.
