John Bavaro: The iPhone Fayum Portraits
The original Fayum mummy portraits, dating from approximately
100 BC to 200 BCE, provide the inspiration for Bavaro to merge
ideas which reach across time. Through skillful use new media,
forgotten processes are revived and digitized, resulting in
hand-made objects that look centuries old. The final works
resemble the past but are firmly grounded in the here and now,
as they call attention to the short-lived nature of existence.
