Lavatorial Flemish Self-Portraits
Photograph by Nina Katchadourian
You read that right. Witty artist Nina Katchadourian goes into the bathroom during long flights and uses tissue to create costumes for Flemish-style self-portraits. The series is called Seat Assignment: Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style. I want to be her.
“Improvising with materials close at hand, Seat Assignment consists of photographs, video, and digital images all made while in flight using only a camera phone. The project began spontaneously on a flight in March 2010 and is ongoing. At present, over 2500 photographs and video, made on more than 70 different flights to date, constitute the raw material of the project.”
