Ugo Rondinone
In the series titled "I don’t live here anymore",1995, Ugo Rondinone digitally manipulates photos of women depicted in various suggestive poses, replacing their features with his own in a sufficiently consistent way for the image to retain its erotic content. By slipping into different bodies, he tests his own body and appearance, and he raises the issue of reality. The artist can only offer his own, man-made version. Ugo Rondinone's work has been evolving since the mid-1980s, and his works take shape through several media--drawing, painting, video and installations.

	Ugo Rondinone: Guided by Voices   by Ugo Rondinone, Jan Avgikos, Beatrix Ruf, Jan Winkelmann Hardcover - 160 pages (1 March, 2000) Hatje Cantz Ugo Rondinone takes up the question of identity through his multimedia artworks, which ecompass high art and commerce, fashionably hip affirmation and melancholy withdrawal from the world, seduction and rejection, the routine of daily life and highly exaggerated contrasting worlds - a balancing act of ambiguities. This volume shows Rondinone's work from the 1990s: diaries in the style of underground comics, the banality of everyday life on unedited never-ending videotapes, hypnotizing circle pictures, clowns, hermetic spatial installations and monumental brush and ink landscape pictures. Ugo Rondinone Born in Brunnen (Austria) 1964. Lives between Zürich and New York. 24 October to 28 November 1998 - exhibition of Ugo Rondinone at Almine Rech Gallery more @ Galerie Almine Rech, Paris
