claresophiet: Levi van Veluw plays with the boundaries between sculpture and photography, using his own skin as a canvas. His self portraits are remarkable - each seems to be like a live performance, captured on camera. Repetition features heavily in the artist’s self portraits - each angle is the same, each expression mirrors the last. Eventually, his face becomes secondary to the medium he has decorated himself with - the model loses his value, a twist on standard portrait photography. Interestingly, van Veluw has only recently left education, graduating in 2007 from the Artez Institute of the Arts, Netherlands. It’s worth keeping an eye out for his work, and it will be interesting to see his career develop. Click through on the image for a link to his website. I really like this piece. It’s like a sexy wookie or something.
