Unseen Photo Fair 2015

18 Sep, 2015 - 20 Sep, 2015
Over the past years, Unseen has established a tradition of inviting talented artists to create the annual Unseen campaign images. Following previous Unseen campaign artists Blommers & Schumm, Viviane Sassen, and Lorenzo Vitturi, this year Unseen invited Peter Puklus to create the 2015 campaign images. The 2015 Unseen campaign visualises various interpretations of a sculpted self- portrait of Peter Puklus. In creating the sculpture, Puklus reinterpreted the only remaining photograph of a sculpture by Hungarian avant-garde artist Joseph Csaky (Head, 1913), which was either lost or destroyed. The artist photographed the resulting sculpture in various contexts, superimposing different colour-palettes onto the scene. The resulting photographs – several of which will be available for purchase in limited editions at Unseen 2015 – explore the visual conventions of self-portraiture and territories of photography beyond the frame.
