Conversations
Over a period of four months in 2002 I conducted an e-mail conversation with artist Philip Metz, published in Fall 02 Drucksache Kunstverein München, Kunstverein München, Munich, Gesammelte Drucksachen, Revolver, Frankfurt am Main, 2004 and on www.seeandseen.net. This conversation is part of an artwork with the title Selbstbildnis (“self-portrait”), where Philip Metz, a student from the Art Academy in Munich, was sitting in front of a portrait in the Schack-Galerie in Munich every Sunday for one hour over four months. Philip Metz and I agreed that he would not shave during this time and that he would continuously communicate with me by e-mail regarding his experiences as a participant in the piece. The situation that formed this work was reminiscent of a scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s film Vertigo – a scene that I write about in my dissertation text.
