Book: Intimate selfportrait
    
	
	
                      
I am lying on my back. 
I am masturbating with my right hand, with my left hand I take 12 photos in the course of the process, from the first touch to the ejaculation. 
This process takes place three times, each time I take photos from a different viewpoint: as seen from myself, from above and from the left. 
I describe the actions and the situation on each photo in 7 lines. 
The twelve descriptions become as it were the twelve verses of a poem. 
The texts exist in Dutch, English and German language. 
Each drawing is made on a light-box, by writing the descriptions with pencil on a sheet of Japanese paper with the photograph as underlayer. 
The drawings are published as small books, of 12 pages each. One book for each viewpoint. 
 
I also perform the texts orally in front of an audience.
