“Porcelain Body”, created in summer 2026, is a group of 36 images depicting porcelainized body sections.

The porcelainization process happened in digital post-production, by swapping the skin in my previously taken reference photos with a porcelain surface. It was a challenging task to digitally conform a convincing porcelain layer to the body’s topography while preserving all relevant anatomical characteristics.

An important element throughout the series is the distinct craquelure, which reads as a sign of fragility.

In order to further accentuate the materiality, I would print the pictures via dye sublimation on white-coated aluminium. This method heat-fuses the image into the surface, leading to a lustrous, porcelain-like character. Finally, the images can either be exhibited in a free arrangement or, thats my suggestion, if the space allows, all together in a large square formation.
