Après l’excellent projet Remake où les tableaux célèbres étaient recomposés en photos, voici le travail photographique de Tadao Cern. Un sosie en chair et en os du célèbre autoportrait de Vincent van Gogh de 1889.
« Long long time ago a stranger asked me to make his portrait… So I did. I sent him the image and I never heard back from him again since that moment. Not long ago I saw one painting and I felt that it was very familiar to me. And then I got it – It was a copy of my photo! I did a little research on that and it seem that the guy who draw(copied) it is quite well known around…
His name is Vincent Van Gogh and I was lucky enough to make his portrait. Pity that he never mentioned me and I can’t find his contact now… »
