I wonder what Søren Dahlgaard's inspiration for this series of portraits was. Perhaps something like: "You don’t have anything that interesting to say! So I might as well slap some unbaked dough across your face…"
People were apparently queuing up at the State Museum of Art in Copenhagen to take part in this extraordinary experiment loaded with undertones of very dark humor, as seen in the film above. The portraits were exhibited at the Danish National Gallery.
