N.Y.FACES – chirurgische Operationen
(N.Y.FACES – surgical operations)
23 photo restitchings

The attack of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center in New York was what triggered the series entitled N.Y.FACES. These works are composed of passport photos and close-ups of my dental operation. On the reverse sides, I included news reports from the period of the attack that I had torn out of the papers. The mouth, especially, plays an important role in revealing pain and violence, and here I purposely show a mouth, wide open, as an expression of the most intense feelings.
