Edition Nr. 9 is till May 24th on view in the exhibition yours truly (working title) at Callirrhoë in Athens.
This edition is part of and the edition´s series "yours truly (working title)" for which two artist-friends create an edition with each other in mind.
Ian Waelder ́s (*1993 in Madrid, living and working in Frankfurt) used for his edition a detail from a photography he took of Núria Fuster and her son Arnau . The title Puppeteers (Núria & Arnau) describes quite literally the dynamic moment, which shows fragments of the kid who doesn´t want to stand still for the photographer and the mother who tries to bring him in posture. Waelder photocopied the image with a shoelace on top. He changed the shoelace(s) and the forms they create for each copy of the edition, making all of them unique and highlighting every time other parts of this portrait of his friend.
