Shigeki Matsuyama
A portrait is a depiction of a specific individual. It became an established painting style during the Renaissance, and since then, many artists have created portraits with various themes. Some portraits have pursued realism, while others have emphasized or exaggerated the beauty or ugliness of their subjects. (Source: This is media “Syozouga”)
The series "Portrait of Dazzle" uses facial photos found among the countless selfies and snaps uploaded on the Internet. With a video projector, the eyes from the photos were projected and traced onto a silhouette of another person whose race, sex, hairstyle, or body shape differs from those of the original, thereby creating portraits reflecting anonymity and the uncertain veracity of the information on the Internet.
