Michael Mapess Dissected PortraitsBy Kaushik Wednesday, June 06, 2012 Art n Design, Photography No comments
New York based artist Michael Mapes creates elaborate portraits by dissecting photographs and reconstructing them onceagain to recreate the original image, but with a unique twist.
Each final piece is made up of thousands of individual specimens consisting of dissected photographs and genetic informationabout the subject in the form of hair, fingernails, scent, eyelashes, fingerprints, makeup, handwriting and breath. Therepresentations of his subjects are dissected and then reconstructed through artistic interpretation invoking entomological,forensic and artistic methods.
