MORITZ SCHELL
ABOUT THE WORK
Participation at the Exhibition SENSITIVE VIEWING HABITS | a preview to photo::vienna #1 (2014)
The sur/face-project is a series of close-up portraits photographed by Vienna-based artist Moritz Schell. It is both an anthropological study and an art project, examining the polarity between existence and appearance, between the face and its representation as a mask. The series is work in progress and growing constantly, aiming to be one day the largest photographic collection of the human face.
