«Auto-portrait 71»

From the outset, Jochen Gerz took up the self-portrait both in the video medium and in photographic works. The subdivision of ‘Auto-portrait 71’ corresponds to four different, but simultaneously presented, phases in an artistic process relating to the concealing and making visible of one’s own image.
