THE EQUALITY BETWEEN PEOPLE IS THE CONCEPT OF ETIENNE ETNIK SERIES, CONSISTING OF 11 PIECES: AN AVATAR AND 10 REPRESENTATIVES OF DIFFERENT NATIONS, WHICH ARE NOT ONLY PORTRAITS, BUT CAUGHT IN A PRECISE MOMENT OR PLACE TO EXPRESS MORE "SUBCONCEPT" SO WE HAVE: [01] A BRAZILIAN WHO AVENGES RAINFOREST KILLING THE LOGGERS, [02] A MANHATTAN GUY WHO LOOKS IMPASSIVE A TERRORIST ATTACK, [03] AN IRAQI GUY POSING DURING THE EXPLOSION OF HIS HOUSE, [04] GAY COWBOY WITH CACTUS AS A PHALLIC SYMBOL, [05] AN ENGLISH GUY ON LADY D MEMORIAL WITH GRAFFITI DEDICATED TO QUEEN, [06] SELFPORTRAIT FROM ANCIENT GREECE, [07], A RUSSIAN, WHICH BEDROOM SEEMS AN ARMORY, [08] AN ITALIAN, A FAITHFUL LOVER OF RELIGION AND POPE, [09] A UKRAINIAN WITNESS OF THE CHERNOBYL DISASTER, [10] AN ELEGANT GERMAN MASTER, [11] MY AVATAR, WHERE THE REAL FACE IS HIDDEN. FOR THIS PROJECT I CARRIED OUT A MASSIVE WEB SEARCH, BROWSING ON THE INTERNET HUNDREDS OF PORTRAITS OF MEN FROM AROUND THE WORLD, I STUDIED THE ORIGINAL FEATURES AND PHYSICAL FEATURES OF EACH ETHNIC GROUP, CAPTURING THE SALIENT POINTS AND REPRODUCING THEM ON MYSELF, SHAPING MY FACE ON THESE APPEARANCES. I WANT TO FEEL A PART OF EVERYONE, DO NOT FEEL ANY DIFFERENCE WITH PEOPLE OTHER THAN ME, BUT KEEP RECOGNIZABLE AT THE SAME TIME. SUMMER / WINTER 2010 |
