Self Portrait invites viewers to become active agents in the making of their own depiction. The work creates a large-scale, impermanent representation of the person standing before it, printing their image with light onto a light-sensitive surface. The portrait begins to fade away almost as soon as it emerges; the work erases every mark it makes. Each captured moment is immediately lost and can only be experienced as process. Self Portrait follows an aesthetic of presence and erasure that Random International has developed over the years in a variety of Temporary Printing Machine installations.

Nearing almost two decades since the studio’s inception, the focus of Random International’s artistic practice has continuously evolved, and today embraces sculpture, performance, and installation, often on an architectural scale. Their highly collectable work creates a bridge between the human, the digital and the architectural scales by creating monumental works that offer their audiences personal and instinctive experiences.
