About the Work:

Self-portrait simply perpetuates the human obsession with finding his double through the question of representation. The latter is a moving, carnal body, and therefore opposed to the flat surface onto which it is projected. The work maintains this inability of representation to seize even its own reflection. The body is worked here as a flat plane of flesh. By eradicating most of its form and space, it is reduced to its matter qualities in a unilateral falling movement.
