SELF-PORTRAIT SERIES
Geiles Globales Gesicht / Grand Global Masks (2009)
An essentially untranslatable German term, “Geiles”, either grand or aroused by desire, has been coined by Susanne Junker for her photographic series
“Geiles Globales Gesicht (Grand Global Mask).
12 images of the artist transformed after painstaking applications of facial paint confront spectators with a work constituent of anonymity, cultural associations and iconography as well as silent protest.
