The digital age has fundamentally changed traditional notions of who we are and how we wish to be perceived. Doppelganger presents current trends in the depiction of human beings. In today's images and sculptures, personal identities are being intensified, altered, or created through the use of techniques such as deformation and construction/deconstruction, as well as the obliteration of classical proportions, visual traditions, and what is generally considered beautiful and fashionable. The book shows permutations of the outer human shell created with costumes and masks as well as photo-technical and artistic manipulation. With examples ranging from the intimate to the radical, Doppelganger explores how many or how few effects the depiction of a person can take in order to function as such. In doing so, the book shows that the unique visual appearances being created today often reveal more about the identities of their subjects and creators than their real faces ever could.
