Still

Still series of portraits are portraits resulting from the digital processing and then 3d printing of photographic archive material from two sources. From a series of mugshots held in concentration camps in World War II and from and publicized photos of Greek police markings in the media. These portraits are a combination of two photographs - one from each source - in a way that refers to Galton's composite portraiture techniques and in a way that the source of the material is not completely distinct. The purpose of listing these photographs is not simply a process of comparing the Greek democratic state with the Nazi authoritarian state. It is essentially a commentary on the very nature of photography as a way of portraying, but also on its use as a tool of correctness, in a way that governs the history of the concept of state and correctness from the mid-19th century onwards.
