The highly attractive photographs in Max de Esteban's series Propositions pose uncomfortable questions: in Proposition One, translucent X-ray images magnify mechanical devices that have been made superfluous although they continue to fill their purpose perfectly. In Proposition Three, de Esteban (born 1959 in Barcelona) examines the cold, gray inner life of cell phones or tablets and the increasing entanglement of the body and digital technology. In Heads Will Roll, part four of the series, the artist uses seductive photo collages made of film stills, pictures of flowers, and documents to shed light on the parameters that permeate the postmodern patchwork of our life: media define everyday life; a war or a disaster somewhere in the world permanently unsettles us; the individual is in danger of drowning in the masses; genuine and fake are hardly distinguishable anymore; a vague fear of the East pervades political action; reality is mostly experienced as it is communicated by the media. leírás elrejtése
