Description (eng)

Baby Boy consists of two large sized lambdaprints which complement one another. They are the product of an aesthetic-visual analysis process of pictorial material that is taken from everyday-life TV. One shows the pictures of a brightly illuminated show stage, which seems strangely abandoned. The other one shows a procession of fragmented bodies, fulfilling their dance line after line. Deprived of either their center or their context by a digital erosion process, the pictures confront the viewer with the way he normally perceives images. The performance of the pop idols Beyoncé and Sean Paul at the 10. MTV Europe Music Awards 2003 in Edinburgh serves as the raw material which is submitted to a double deconstruction process. At a frequency of 4 pictures per second 1080 stills are extracted from the moving image. The parts of the resulting images that represent the two singers are cut out digitally and finally stitched together by program in chronological order. In Baby Boy digital tools are used to cut up a pop production. Through this creative destruction the slick aesthetics of the perfect contemporary entertainment industry are foiled.
