"Literally a novel "take" on the tradition of the self-portrait, we see here the artist developing a new technique of image-making, one which involves judgements of timing and throwing, as well as a reconsideration of what it might mean to quite carefully document a pose. ... The results are both comical and curious, as though we have stumbled across a hitherto secret ritual or game."

Extract from Peter Suchins' essay 'Theme and Variation in the Work of Thorsten Knaub' from the Between Fast-Food and Eternity exhibition brochure.
