New Reproductions is a series of new collages that involves photos in which various creative stages of his works are laid on top of one another, similar to the way, the ambivalent title linking past and present can be read in both directions of time. When the artist piles up depictions of earlier works, he literally archives them, while simultaneously activating them for present use by exposing, digitally editing, decollaging, combining, and partially covering them.
