| The first series of star shots – The Phenomenon of Ex-changeability – emphasizes on and plays with those oh so informative and scandalous but rather stereotype situations in the world of celebrity gossip, categorized (by the artist) as at the beach, at a party, shopping, at the airport etc. Ever repeating scenarios, easy to identify as paparazzi imagery due to their blurriness and distance to the subject, resulting in a grainy pattern and not to forget the fine greenish blurry cloud in the foreground decorating most of the images, as a result of literally shooting their victim behind a camouflage of protective bushes. The ex-changeability of these images, which may only reveal the identity of their blurry protagonists throughout a well fitting or rather manipulative headline as well as the constant in-scening of both the observer and the observed is the main aspect in the first star shots series. | The first series of star shots – The Phenomenon of Ex-changeability – emphasizes on and plays with those oh so informative and scandalous but rather stereotype situations in the world of celebrity gossip, categorized (by the artist) as at the beach, at a party, shopping, at the airport etc. Ever repeating scenarios, easy to identify as paparazzi imagery due to their blurriness and distance to the subject, resulting in a grainy pattern and not to forget the fine greenish blurry cloud in the foreground decorating most of the images, as a result of literally shooting their victim behind a camouflage of protective bushes.
