‘The self collector’ is the title of an exhibition in which I continue my investigation into representations of self.
Composition Drawings
Working with members of the technical investigation department of the Amsterdam police, I had computer compositions made of my face on the basis of descriptions of me by people who know me well. The detective who compiled the composition pictures did not know what I look like.
Palm Reading
I asked two palm readers to read my hands. I then made drawings which included impressions of my palms with lines of text explaining what had been said about each line in my hand. I also asked each of the palm readers to say which line they would change to improve their reading.
Faith line
On the advice of one of the palm readers I had my faith line extended by a plastic surgeon in a hospital.
