The layered images combine unevenly, obscuring the artist’s features and highlighting the app’s various icons along the lower margin. Through this juxtaposition of history and contemporary life, Eisenman comments on the construction of identity and the evolving role of self-presentation in a digital world. wall description: Soon after seeing the avant-garde modern painter Francis Picabia’s retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (2016–17), Eisenman embarked on this series. In these prints, Eisenman combines images of paintings by Picabia that they had photographed at MoMA with self-portraits recorded from the popular app Snapchat, in which users can briefly share photographs before they are permanently deleted. This series is a rare example of self-portraiture within Eisenman’s work. The artist’s features are obscured and deformed by Picabia’s paintings, commenting on the evolving role of self-presentation in a digital world. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
