FACELEASE ✷

What remains of a face when it stops belonging to the one who wears it and starts circulating as an image?

“Facelease” plays on “face” and “lease”: the face as something on loan, granted for a limited time under terms nobody reads. It also echoes *release*, the image that is let go and is no longer in our hands.

Of the portrait, only the peripheral survives: the hair, the ear, the edge of a sweater. The center, the place tradition reserved for gaze and character, has been replaced by an accumulation of color planes that overlap like cut paper. The face stops being a presence and becomes a surface: a construction made of remnants, where paint imitates collage and collage interrupts paint. Fragments of typography enter from the margins, cropped, like the echo of a message whose origin has been lost.

The Baroque portrait aspired to fix identity in time, to turn the image into a monument. This piece proposes the opposite: a face that refuses to be fixed, that resists closing and forces the viewer to reconstruct it.

“Facelease”belongs to my series POORTREAT, a semantic play on “portrait” and “poor treat”, on the fine line between representation and the mistreatment of the contemporary image. POORTREAT doesn’t portray individuals. It portrays the current condition of the image itself.

What holds an identity together when there is no longer a face to contain it?
