| Reka creates life-size cardboard cutouts (often self-portraits) and re-photographs them out in the world. She does not use any digital manipulation to composite the pictures. Instead, she makes the cutouts by hand and re-photographs them in a specific location or situation using a view camera. While the pictures are direct documents, their space appears collaged and altered, often resembling an image from the early days of Photoshop. Doubly present as the photographer and the photographed, Reka explores the schizophrenic and sometimes indistinguishable relationship between the real and fake to question the logic of image-making. |
