Second Hand Image
Oil on canvas, eBay-Kleinanzeige, poster
2018 - 2019
The artist regularly and aimlessly browses through used goods offers in his area on eBay Kleinanzeigen. The items that catch his attention, or rather the photographs of these items, are transferred onto canvas or paper in the same size as their digital formats and copied using painterly techniques.
These images are then photographed and uploaded back to the platform for sale, using the same titles, categories, descriptions, and prices as the original.
The sold images remain in the private possession of the buyers, and in the exhibition, reproductions of them can be acquired as posters with 10 different variations, displayed in their original format.
