Description

Some Native Peoples didn 't want to be photographed because they believed that with every copy of their image, a part of their souls would disappear.By making a copy of an aspect of my existence - a photo, a film, a sound recording, or even a text - my existence goes beyond the immediate here and now. The copy will lead a life of its own. In addition there are young people who process a photo of themselves by smart algorithms in an image-processing app and take this to the plastic surgeon with a request to be operated on this image. Thus we are either lived by producing soulless images, or we strive to become an image of an image. All those soulless images ruin your here and now. Only now I understand that those Native Peoples were right!
