Selfportrait.Map Locurto/Outcault

Selfportrait.map charts the development of the collaborative work by artists Lilla LoCurto and William Outcault from 1992 to the present, culminating in a series of self portraits generated from three dimensional body scans. Employing a full-body scanner, traditional cartography software, and another software to make the two compatible, the artists began to produce photographic self-portraits as map projections.LoCurto/Outcault set about this inquiry as a way to "deconstruct the human form in terms of its volume, rendering it in absolute two-dimensions". This volume accompanies an exhibition of 18 of these images.Posner, Helaine is the author of 'Selfportrait.Map Locurto/Outcault' with ISBN 9780295979342 and ISBN 0295979348.
