Lithuanian architect-turn-photographer Tadao Cern—whom we have featured previously for his “Scotch Tape” and “Blow Job” series—has re-imagined one of Van Gogh’s most famous self-portraits as a modern photograph.
Documenting the digital process of turning the painting into a photograph in a video, Cern has also made up a humorous story about how Van Gogh himself has commissioned him for a portrait, which the legendary artist then “copied”.
While this re-creation was obviously done in jest, it is interesting because it gives the viewer a realistic idea of what Van Gogh might have looked like.
Watch the video below to find out how the photographer striped away the layers of paint to “reveal the truth”.
