<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Some years ago I
wanted to remix digital reproductions of artworks but most of them were not
available or difficult to find online. So I started to make collages out of my
art and images from my book collection … But after a while I was sad over my
book destruction and wanted to keep them, stopped and dumped all collages. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

remix digital works. I play with those tiny images by using reproductions of
some successful artists, remixing them with their own works or unknown artists,
memes, news images, my own photographs or whatever appears on my screen. It
feels much better as I am not destroying anything “real”.</i></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>GdL: Generally
this expansion of the realm of imaginary and reality amazes and scares me.
Image overflow. Image saturation. The belief in the authenticity of photography
is fading. Everything is speeding up. Most images live only for a short breath.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>GdL: Net art or
better net images fascinate me because of their accessibility to anyone with an </i></span><i style="font-family: inherit;">internet connection. Free from traditional art institutions and the art market
everyone can nowadays declare himself as an artist. New social communities are
formed opening up new image or art worlds and markets. For me questions arise
like: Do memes have a more visual and sometimes even political power than
images of artworks? Why are images of artworks more copyright protected than
images of dead refugee children? What is the difference between a regular
image, a meme or an image of an artwork? When is a selfie an artwork?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who defines what art is online? Does
the question what art is still matter online? Is the author now finally dead?

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>GdL: Yes,
anarchist appropriation is happening constantly. Kill your idols and kill
yourself. If one would see my remixes separated from each other one could not
tell who did it. I am using other online platforms to publish other kinds of
remixes. Maybe you could identify the Picasso or the Warhol used but not the
author as they all vary in their imagery. Memes have for me in this sense of
the dead or killed author a role model function even if some of them lack any
political correctness and of course too many people are excluded from this
development, as they have no access at all.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

thought of Thomas W., the shopping mall, his shopping cart simultaneously
artworks appeared in my mind like Duane Hanson’s sculpture Supermarket Lady
(1979), Sylvie Fleury’s empty, gold-plated shopping cart and Doug Aitken’s work
with the shopping cart standing there lost and alone on the roof of a park
deck. Consumerism, supermarket and this simple thing of a shopping cart, which
is functioning in different kinds of meanings and markets were a link between
my very spontaneous image selection. And of course Andreas Gursky is a star in
the contemporary “supermarket of art“. His photograph 99 Cent (2001) of a
supermarket sold with a price of $3,346,456 at a Christie’s auction, becoming
one of the most expensive photographs. I titled my remix after the price of
Gurskys work. In total contrast my remix is a cheap digital image, not
available for sale, shared with everybody, produced in an hour on a smart
phone, a remix in low resolution. If you print it you maybe see nothing
anymore. It may disappear.</i><o:p></o:p></span><br />

photograph of Kate Moss shopping in her bikini reminds me somehow in her almost
flying movement with the swinging ponytail of the “ninfa fiorentina“ in the
painting “The Birth of John the Baptist” (1485-1490) by
Domenico Ghirlandaio. Aby Warburg described her as an ‘ecstatic nymph’. In my
image, Kate Moss is compared to the most homeless people, who are wandering
through the cities wrapped in many layers of clothes in the winter time,
wearing a bikini, skinny, having her shopping cart filled with consumer goods.
A symbol of the easy breezy sunny side of shopping life. A real model who gets
paid for professional shootings, to inspire people to consume. An icon in many
senses, but also for the insatiable consumerism of images.</i><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>I have mentioned
others that inspired me for this image, but also I greatly respect the
photography project ”Sycamore and Romaine“ by Martin Schoeller. He portraits
homeless people with dignity by giving them back identities and telling their
stories. Nobody needs to be ashamed to be homeless. A society who is not able
to provide free housing and financial aid for the poor and troubled could be.
Isn’t it absurd or even perverted that image stock markets like Getty print
their logo and the name of photographers on images of homeless people - while
the people “the models“ stay anonymous? They stay poor and homeless while
others are profiting. It just feels wrong to me.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">So once this was determined, and as we stated to the world
that we had shot her, and asked others to do
the same, what benefit was there in defining the person doing the exploration and shooting as “I”? It is not about me. It is not about you, as the participant,
observer or reader. The themes we are exploring are universal and, as such, we
determined the “I” should not be the definitive first person pronoun … did you
know that English is the only language that actually capitalizes the personal
pronoun? (Think of “je” in French, “ich” in German, “yo” in Spanish, and of
course “ego” in Latin). This is also why “we” always try to write from the
perspective of more than one person on this blog.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In today’s society, the impact of<span style="color: #f79646;"></span>
the digital age is profound and in a funny way it is irrelevant whether urls and hashtags are

however,
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._E._Cummings" target="_blank">wikipidea</a> tells us that this is a red herring: </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">“<i>Cummings's publishers and others have sometimes echoed the
unconventional <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">orthography</span>
in his poetry by writing his name in lowercase and without periods (<span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">full stops</span>), but normal
orthography (uppercase and full stops) is supported by scholarship and
preferred by publishers today. Cummings himself used both the lowercase and
capitalized versions, though he most often signed his name with capitals.</i></span><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
</i></div>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The use of lowercase for his initials was popularized in
part by the title of some books, particularly in the 1960s, printing his name
in lower case on the cover and spine. In the preface to E. E. Cummings: The
Growth of a Writer by Norman Friedman, critic Harry T. Moore notes, "He
[Cummings] had his name put legally into lower case, and in his later books the
titles and his name were always in lower case." According to Cummings's
widow, however, this is incorrect. She wrote to Friedman: "You should not
have allowed H. Moore to make such a stupid & childish statement about
Cummings & his signature.</i>”</span></div>

community and was heavily influenced by her great-grandmother, Bell Hooks, who
was known for her sharp opinions. As a writer, she chose the pseudonym,
bell hooks, in tribute to her mother and great-grandmother. She decided

Janet Mock talked about feeling inspired by Beyoncé’s video ‘Partition’. “It
was freeing to have Beyoncé showing her ass, owning her body and claiming that
space”, said Mock. But hooks disagreed: “I see a part of Beyoncé that is, in
fact, anti-feminist, that is assaulting, that is a terrorist . . . especially
in terms of the impact on young girls.” She continued: “I actually feel like
the major assault on feminism in our society has come from visual media and

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the wake of our exploration (in <a href="http://ishotkatemoss.blogspot.com/2015/12/photographer-series-25-mariashotkatemoss_13.html" target="_blank">Photographer Series #25</a>) of Maria Sheila Miani's insertion of today's fashion
icons into well known impressionist paintings, ishotkatemoss was particularly
attracted to Elham's collages that utilized miniatures and other Persian
symbolism contrasted with modern western imagery.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Elham Goodarzi (EG): My artwork is created influences by
time; the time that has passed, the time that will come and the time that I'm
currently living. And the fact that, in my opinion, there is no more that much
of difference between “eastern” culture and “western” culture. And what we
currently have at least in my country is a combination of different cultures
and some times it’s weird but necessary. </span></i></div>

influence, is specifically unique and different in Iran?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">EG: Well I think you can experiment with this interaction in
Iran more than any other place. We had a rich and brilliant culture and
fortunately we kept it for hundreds of years and now the interaction between
our heritage and what we have now has created this big contradiction in our
lives. On the other hand we have a growing western culture and our desire to
reach a modern lifestyle. The combination of all of this had influence my work
a lot.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, but does Hince own her image? And, what does she think
of being constantly photographed by her partner? Before hazarding a guess, we
can go back in time and look for a pattern here … </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few years a go, Kate revealed what it was like to shoot
her iconic Calvin Klein Obsession campaign with her boyfriend at the time, photographer
Mario Sorrenti. Klein booked Sorrenti to shoot the campaign after looking at
Sorrenti's book, which was full of shots of Moss. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Calvin was clever, he saw from the pictures that it
was obsession, and it really was an obsession," she said. Sorrenti and a
17-year-old Moss ended up spending over a week shooting photos at a deserted
little shack on the beach. Moss said:</div>

like, 'Lay down, I'll tell you when we've got it!' We probably had it in the
first roll.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The couple broke up after the photoshoot. <i>"… we split
up after that,"</i> Moss said. <i>"When you're in a relationship with a
photographer and they start abusing that relationship - and being like, 'I want
you to do this, and I want you to do that' - it makes you go, 'No'. I didn't
want to work all the time, but he'd be like, 'Get up on the roof, take your
clothes off,' and I would think, 'Fuck off!' Now I understand that kind of
thing a bit better, capturing an image, but at the time I was 17."</i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">MSM: I always try to pick a model whose features are completely
in contrast with the kind of people that are in the paintings of the
artist. For instance, for Gauguin’s works, which portrait exotic women from a
very primitive lifestyle in Tahiti, I chose to use Daphne Groenveld as the
model. Her features are completely the opposite of Gauguin’s kind of women. She
is pale, blonde, has huge lips and bambi eyes. In most fashion editorials she
resembles a Barbie doll and wears very expensive clothes. For Vermeer’s
paintings, which are set back in the 17th century when women wore very modest
clothes and behaved in a very reserved manner, I inserted Gisele Bundchen, the
most famous Brazilian model whose lifestyle is all about yoga and sports. She
also has an incredible body that fashion magazines love to photograph in
swimsuits and short dresses.</span></i></div>

natural that somebody would use her image to transform it, and if this person
is an artist, then to create art. Especially in the digital era, when you can
find tons of images of such a famous person, it is easy to take these pictures
and make them yours. Kate Moss managed to create a universe around her, made of
her lifestyle, personality and career path. People feel drawn to her because
she has made her life memorable. I, as an artist, can see so many different
aspects of her in her pictures that it is almost natural to create something
out of them.</span></i></div>

As our mirth abated, we pondered the power of the unibrow. This drew us straight towards a true icon, artist, visionary and feminist ... Frida Kahlo, who once wrote:<br />

would laugh at my own stupidity.)" </i></span><br />
<br />
The madness of the world seems to reflect in kate. We position her as an icon, an artist, a visionary and - believe it or not - even sometimes as a feminist. Some have analyzed this in interesting and certainly valid ways (e.g. see Daisy Buchanan's interesting take on the representation of kate on her 40th birthday, and her influence, "<a href="http://www.lifetimetv.co.uk/features/controversial-opinion-i-dont-think-kate-moss-is-an-icon" target="_blank">I don't think Kate Moss is an icon</a>") and ishotkatemoss challenges you to google "kate moss feminist" and not feel depressed by the amount of time and energy spent on debating this topic in academic settings ...<br />
<br />
We quite simply think of the idea of kate, in many ways, as a false idol.<br />
<br />
As such, we pondered how this could be reflected in the context of our project. Why not simply do what Macy and Daniel had done, using the power of the most important unibrow? So we did:<br />

Shortly after posting this image on instagram we were reminded of where the unibrow first becomes embedded in the childhood psyche ... Bert, from Bert & Ernie!<br />

<i>From "The Muppet Show: Connie Stevens (#1.2)" (1977):</i><br />
<i>Ernie: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Gee, it's really great to be here. Right, Bert? </i><i>Bert: Ah, I guess so. <br />Ernie: Oh, what's wrong, Bert? <br />Bert: Well, I mean, I feel funny being here, this is a big TV variety show, you know? <br />Ernie: So? <br />Bert: I'm no performer. <br />Ernie: Oh, Bert. A suave, sophisticated showman like you, Bert? <br />Bert:
Oh, sure, sure. I know you. You're gonna keep on saying I'm suave and
sophisticated, and then when I start to believe it, then you're gonna
say how pointy head I have, and how floppy arms I have, and how dull I
am, I know you. <br />Ernie:
Bert, you must admit, though, Bert, that the head up there is a
little bit pointy, Bert. And you must admit that the arms are a little
bit floppy and soggy, Bert. And Bert? <br /> [pulls off Bert's nose] </i><br />
<i>Ernie: The nose is still loose Bert. <br />Bert: Cut that out! <br />Ernie: Oh, I'm sorry, Bert, here. There you go, Bert. <br /> [puts Bert's nose back on his face] <br />Bert:
See what I mean? I mean that old loose-nose joke is funny on Sesame
Street, but this is big-time, Ernie. I mean they're expecting an act or
something. <br />Ernie:
Hey, Bert, wait a minute. You can do an act. All you need are the
clothes Bert. Come over here, Bert! Step right here, Bert!</i> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why not? We can use the detachable nose, get Bert the clothes and use another iconic unibrow?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bert: Ernie, why must you always humiliate me? </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ernie: C'mon, Bert. Somebody has to play MaMa, and you lost the toss. </span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jen Allanson runs a training and development business in
Liverpool, UK. When she is not doing that, she heads to her studio in an old
dock warehouse, which she shares with more than 20 artists, and creates a wide
variety of drawings, prints, assemblages … in between taking photographs and
also creating political and societal commentaries, captured under her catch-all
of ‘Blah’.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">JA: The first 'Kate Moss Eyes on Food' collage was an
accident. I was in a business hotel in a Northern UK town cutting up a glossy
magazine while watching tv. In the paper-cut chaos that ensued Kate Moss’s eyes
ended up on a picture of some stuffed mushrooms. It made me laugh. I could
still recognise her even when she was just eyes on food. I scanned it and sent
it to a couple of friends who thought it was funny too. So I made a series,
posting them to a Tumblr gallery (beginning May 2014) and sharing them with friends via social
media.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">JA: I got a great response. People sent me more pictures of
Kate Moss through the post (all the collages are physical, cut paper collages).
I searched ebay and bought clippings and collected magazine pages. I hadn’t
realised there were people out there who collect and sell clippings of celebrities.</span></i></div>

"Senor Dee Dee", two weeks before halloween ...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

... then this image, with penmanship we greatly admired, by Keturah Shields:<br />

“<i>constantly scrutinized, cut from the original context and juxtaposed with

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">I began to work with collage when I studied illustration at
university, where, the fulfillment of a given brief was the only concern. After
graduation, when liberated from the constraints of an illustrative mindset, I
expanded my practice. High fashion/lifestyle periodicals became my primary
resource from which I scoured for and salvaged my imagery. During this laborious
process, the visual language of fashion photography/advertising became apparent,
beauty/perfection and sexualisation being the two constants. Due to my close
proximity with this material I became concerned with the position of women
regarding image and representation. Collage is the perfect medium for such a
rebuttal. Collage by its very nature is disparaging of its source material; a
destructive gesture of cutting and slicing a pre-existing image, only to be
redeemed by the perpetrator, as he or she sees fit. It is a response and is
countering to what was presented originally.</span></i></div>

taken from various periods in my practice. Kate Moss has never had preferential
treatment in my studio. I select models/images on aesthetics (posture, gaze,
colour, tone) and the capacity to communicate a new dialogue. However, Kate
Moss is an icon and I am conscious that her inclusion affords a work gravitas
that an alternate muse would not.</span></i></div>

death’, hence the title ‘Death Moss’.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">RO: There is of course a difference; pornography is
explicit, sex is the product. Fashion imagery (to varying degrees) is implicit,
using sexuality to incentivize. ‘Untitled 6’ is a mirroring of the posture,
gaze and sexual ‘availability’ that is present in the language of pornography
and fashion imagery alike.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">In an earlier interview I mentioned that I invert
content to communicate divergent views. This is the essence of
collage. As The Dadaist Hugo Ball expressed, "For us, art is not an end in
itself ... but it is an opportunity for the true perception and criticism of
the times we live in." Over the past two decades, the use of increasingly
explicit sexual imagery in the media, especially in consumer-oriented
print advertising has become almost commonplace. Sex sells. I don't suspect
much will change in the next ten, twenty years.</span></i></div>

‘SEEL’, has been <i>“exercising pictorial activity”</i> since 1996. His desire to
display his artistic talents on open spaces began at an early age.
Specifically, his taste for drawing led him to re-paint his parent’s living
room: <i>“It is a very good memory, but maybe not for everyone in my family!”</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">He discovered graphic art while skateboarding and through
graffiti, where he drew its nickname "think" and then "five"
(‘cinq’ in French) and finally "Sinke". While at university, Sylvain
studied art and visual communication before working with a design firm and
assisting several brands of street wear. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paralleling his professional activity, Sylvian organized and

graphic design and painting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sylvain took the pseudonym ‘SEEL’ in 2010, abandoned exhibitions
to focus on creating a free form of display, in order to be “out of sight of
others”, specifically so as to reconnect with his first love: drawing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">SEEL explains: “<i>My inspirations are diverse: Whether it be a
leaf, JJ Audubon, Aslan (the French pin-up artist), tattoo art, typography of
the 70s and 80s … or things that return me to my childhood.</i>”</span></div>

and the approach of the letter which remain the central elements at the base of
my creations. I am drawn to the female form and often mix an image with types

destruction and death (skulls, planes, guns) but not in an overtly harsh way.
Why use these images in your work?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">SEEL: For me, planes, skulls, guns are representations of vanity
and it's why there are always important in my work. I can't stop focusing on things
like death because “death is life”.</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">SEEL: At first, I would say that it is by chance, a
coincidence - I really liked the pose in the original picture, which I have
taken for my drawing. But the fact that it is a world famous model upset me
because I was always working with the idea of anonymous people.
Nevertheless, she represents the best and the worst at the same time, in a
similar vain to the idea of, and relationship between, death and life … the
iconic beauty and futility of the fashion business. So I adopted kate as my
model. Naturally.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">SEEL: I usually create a "hybrid" girl, using
different parts from different bodies, in order to make a desired pose. But for
the Kate Moss series I worked directly from an image of her. Then I used only a

backgrounds taken from old vintage playboy magazines, subway advertising or
spray paint on paper and then I hand screen print the Kate Moss image in Black
before doing any touching up if needed. I take background images that inspire me, whatever they are
or wherever they come from - but I love the old vintage adult magazine, I don't

<span style="font-family: inherit;">iskm: Which photographers/artists would you most want to
most see involved in ishotkatemoss?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">SEEL: Aslan is one of my favorite artists. For me he is a master
for the vintage pin up. He used to draw a playmate every month in a French
adult magazine call LUI during the eighties. Unfortunately, he recently died so
it is too late …</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We here at ishotkatemoss find SEEL’s art powerful and
compelling. If you are fortunate enough to be in Paris, keep an eye out for his
images on the street. Alternatively, you can experience more of his creations at <a href="http://www.seelecta.fr/" target="_blank">www.seelecta.fr</a></span></div>
