Titian’s The Submersion of the Pharaoh’s Army in the Upper New York Bay as seen in the Fogg Museum
2015/22
12 plates, laser engravings, each 30.5 × 40.6 cm on Arches 300 lb/640 gsm watercolor paper
Edition: 3 + 1EA
In 1997 a friend of mine bought three woodcuts with horses, knights and waves. According to the antiquarian, they were the last sheets of an originally twelve-part portfolio, all in mint condition, probably the work of an unknown artist from the late 19th century who specialized in horses. In reality, it was «The Fall of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea» from 1515-1517 by Titian (Titiano Vecellio, 1490-1576).
On a visit to Harvard University's Fogg Museum in 2015, I first saw a complete copy of this large print (112.5 × 221.5 cm). I photographed it, retouched the images in Photoshop, and replaced Titian's contemporary city in the background with a view of New York and the Brooklyn Bridge. I engraved the twelve panels into heavy watercolor paper with the help of a laser.

Avian Particle System I - III
Date: 2015
Medium: pigment ink on Hahnemühle Turner
Dimensions: 15 x 26.6 in.
Edition: 7
• Annotation:
Based on a HD video of a flock of murmuring starlings shot in the Ebro delta. Low res, compression artifacts and image processing turn the birds into a black particle system. Birds, locusts, ants, fish, etc. obey certain rules when they appear in swarms. Yesterday, I read that cells in our bodies move in groups that follow similar rules. Like locusts, the wandering groups of cells reject each other to keep a safe distance from their neighbor, but they also attract each other to effect a most efficient mass migration ...
