Yes, we have a soul, but it’s made of lots of tiny robots
Si, abbiamo un anima. Ma è fatta di tanti picoli robot. Yes, we have a soul. But it’s made of lots of tiny robots. — Giulio Gioreli (1997 cited in Dennett 2003, Freedom Evolves)

Relic I
A highlight of the ‘Temple Stadia’ series. The holy grail. The objectification of our true religion, of competition, the unreacable promise of completion and closure. The idol of sentimental aspiration. From 100 photographs of trophies. That something we yearn for, … Continue reading

Mall Composure
From 26 images taken with a Nokia e71 walking through Sandton City on my way to the Joburg Art Fair. I’ve often wondered at the sometimes negligible difference between mannequins and some personae. Can’t help but notice their nose is … Continue reading

Body Language (of Emmanuel Radnitzky)
58 of Emmanuel Radnitzky AKA Man Ray’s photographs of female nudes. While not intentional, the visual resonance with Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2′ is hardly surprising, in fact I’ve been meaning work around that for a while. … Continue reading
