Be Me
I am currently working on an ongoing series of paintings called “Invisible Self-Portraits” which consist of paintings of Polaroids of myself taken in a mirror with a flash so that the flash obliterates my image leaving only the surroundings visible. The viewer has only my word for it that the photograph is actually of me. It’s a series of self-portraits essentially that shows the viewer only my context, rather than myself.
Let’s play a trick on the audience. If you send me a Polaroid of yourself in a mirror with a flash (so that you are not recognizable), I’ll do a painting based on it and pass it off as a self-portrait. It will be our secret (although I’m not very good at keeping secrets. . .)
If you don’t have a Polaroid camera, don’t worry. Just take a regular photograph and I’ll pretend that it’s a Polaroid. I’ll send you an image of our collaboration when I’m done.
If you’d like to see what the previous Invisible Self-Portraits look like, please go to www.ellenharvey.info and look under Projects-Invisible Self-Portraits.
