Jenny Rova - I would also like to be, b.frank books, 2015, Zürich

 

Softcover, sewn pamphlet binding, edition of 20 copies, signed and numbered. 41 color and black & white photographs, 41 handmade paper cuttings glued onto the photographs. "A work on jealousy"

„I’m following and spying on my ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend. I pursue them on Facebook, downloading all the pictures they have been uploading there of themselves and each other. I’m placing myself in the new girlfriend’s position, imitating her pose, expression and dressing myself in the same outfit. I’m photographing myself in the same light as in the picture of them. The figure of me I glue onto the original picture, covering the girlfriend. In this way I build a dream life of my own on top of theirs. During the process of taking the new girlfriend’s poses, I’m once again, briefly a part of my ex-love’s life and I can imagine how it would be to be her.“
