Interaction with the audience
Idea:
I invite visitors to take home their own portrait photo based on a baroque vanitas subject (vanitas, Latin for “vanity”).
What’s behind it?
We resurrect the baroque vanitas motif! The audience poses with a skull (-model) in front of my camera and can take the resulting Polaroid – a real work of art – home immediately for a fee.

You choose an individual “wallpaper” that is generated as a background using AI

20 minutes of tension until the Polaroid is developed

The unique piece is ready! A real work of art to-go!
Why?
To celebrate life and to smile in an entertaining way about the finiteness of our own existence.
