PROTECTION SCHIELDS / A project against face recognition in public space / Paris 2020 / Drawing for Andy / The series of portraits was created during my residency at Cité internationale des arts in Paris. During the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the public space was strictly monitored by the French government. In addition to the controls by the police and the military, digital techniques of surveillance have increasingly entered the discourse and did provoke me to develop an artistic strategy with which the personal sphere and thus personal freedom of movement can be maintained. The series of abstract drawings were created for the people around me and, transferred with black paint on the skin, also function as a protective mask against the surveillance cameras in public space.
