In cooperation with the Kunsthaus Bregenz, Jan Fabre has selected
six prominent Vorarlberg personalities who have agreed to pose
for staged photographic portraits. Each of them either has to be bald
to begin with or will have to shave his or her head for the picture.
During the photo session, a “brain” created by the artist from a head
of cauliflower will be placed on each person’s head, the vegetable’s
natural form calling to mind the human cerebrum. Thus, the KUB
Billboard portraits tie in with Jan Fabre’s exhibition installations at
the Kunsthaus Bregenz, where the human body – including the
brain – recurs as a constant theme.
