IGNORAMUS - Limited Edition of 12 Print

"Ignoramus" - photographed digital, color in Zürich - Switzerland, was a collaboration between erik bont, the make-up-artist and the model. The work is one portrayal of Erik's series "superhumans in superworlds". The „superhumans in superworlds“-series, is a progressive series - photographed in Erik's typical conceptual way he is known for, which already started back in 2005 and continues to this day. The series focuses on the emotional side of humans and this side being in continuous conflict with our rational mind. Although humans nowadays are more and more forced to adapt to the rules and standards of society which is trying to mould people into a “homogeneous functioning mass”, at the same time it shows how the human as an individual starts to break with these rules and gains independence using individual thinking and pursuing different ways of living. The ability to focus on our own process of individualization as the primary activity in our life is rare, not least because we have to make ends meet and feed ourselves and loved ones. Therefore this process mostly converts into a “secondary activity” and is often something we do beside our day job. Due to this fact, more and more individualists are created. People who work in their day jobs, but focus their mind on activities which strongly extravert the yearning and desire of them as an individual. Limited Edition of 12 + open edition prints. All limited editions signed and numbered by Erik Bont. Printed as real photo print on Alu-Dibond ultraHD-finish (gallery quality). ** For every limited edition print sale, erik makes a donation to the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR! **
