About the Item

Vik Muniz, New York, NY, 1987 by Fernando Natalici Within this exquisite portrait of a young Vik Muniz, Natalici cuts, then reconstructs the original film negative to allow one side of the artist's face to mirror the other. The result of which leaves us with a stunning voyage into the artist's identity. Archival Inkjet Print on 310GSM Cannon Paper. 13 x 19 inches. Printed 2016. Hand signed by Natalici on the verso from an edition of 4 Excellent condition Acquired directly from the artist More on this work The work was originally shot in black and white then enlarged via a Kodalith process and made through a dotted screen process. The negatives were then cut exactly in half, using as a reference the tip of the nose and the center of the eyes. After that, he took the one half left of the cut negative and flipped it so it became a right side of a face made from the same very left. Natalici best sums up the final rendering as a result that was, "truly astonishing, a face that looked so perfect with all facial details such as, birth marks, freckles, facial hair, scars, etc., that it acquired an extraterrestrial-type clone look."
