UBERMORGEN downloaded the work ‘Alannah’ by Paul Citroën (1931, Silver gelatin print and ink drawing, 24 x 18 cm) as high-resolution file from dadaclub.online. The portrait then underwent spacious and deep reconstructive surgery. This image can withstand inverted doubt and it can overcome its monochrome existence and serve again as prodigy of traditional photography. The work is a negative affirmation and a pointcast reflection on the necessity of a new dada-like movement in our current neo-biedermeier post-internet art-world saturated with glowing superficiality and on the imminent downfall of existing markets and channels.
