Veit Mette
BODY ART ME
- The publication contains three different series of Mette's works on projections
- Accompanied by a text by the renowned photographer and photo theorist Gottfried Jäger
In his work, Veit Mette (*1961) deconstructs and reconstructs imagery. For example, he projects photographs from the collections of Kunsthalle Karlsruhe and the Peter August Böckstiegel Museum onto heads and bodies which he presents both digitally and in physical exhibitions.
For his latest work, he visited a specialised facility for patients with eating disorders, the Klinik am Korso, to explore issues relating to our public image and self-image. Patients were asked to select images from the painting collection at Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, which were then projected onto their faces. Texts written by the men and women who were photographed accompany the images.
Text in English and German.
