The exhibition focuses a series of large scale portraits circling volatile aspects of interpersonal encounters. Using shift effects that get in the way of seeing the portrayed people, Alex Kiessling breaks open the classical portrait tradition, subverting its original purpose. The tradition thus changes into a medium used to discuss contemporary digital imaging, connecting aspects of rotoscoping and data moshing.
