«Klone #92»
Dieter Hubers computer-generated photos treat the cloning and creation of a human being in a way that is both subtle and radical. Taking the tension between naturalness and artificiality as far as it will go, the images of intimate and tabooed body parts enhanced to achieve the utopian state of a medical vision function as an irritant.
The series «Klone» (Clones) involves plants, landscapes, and human beings—each time presenting something that has gone fundamentally wrong. Plants incorporate different flower genres, resemble genitals, or a naked man is pregnant etc. Huber uses his artistic technology as a kind of digital mimesis to genetic technologies—a phantasy that has been taken up by many artists and that has to be explored more in detail.
