This video work is inspired by the drawing “Sitting Girl with Raised Head” by the Austrian artist Egon Schiele. In this work, Platnic gives life to the distorted perception and expressions of Egon Schiele. The original drawing of Schiele is translated into a life-size installation. The character is brought to life by a model who takes the painted subject’s exact position in the corresponding Schiele drawing. The photograph captures the movements of the model and unveils the details of the set made of paintings and sculptures created by Platnic.
