XCI | XCIX, (91|99), 29,7 x 21 each.
The XCI | XCIX series is based on machine-generated images from the Gulf and Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, which were broadcast on television. Video stills were made from a collected selection of projectile shots on approach to the target and transferred to paper as a drawing in sessions lasting up to twelve hours at a time. The alienation through bodily-gestural repetition in the drawing questions the disembodied images and their function to record physical erasure. At the same time, the caesura of a media reception is recalled, in which increasing immediacy produces ever more abstract images. In this way, the characteristic of the original source of the image is taken up again by the drawing: The closer the eye comes to the drawing, the more it denies its subject matter.
