Passing Beauties deals with catalogue pictures of young Thai women. The blurred look and fading shapes on these prints cames from an analogue process, starting with a repainting and smearing on the original inkjet prints. By making valuable reproductions and blowups of the distorted material, the artist produces pictures as a dialogue between painting and photography. Müller Jansen plays with the decomposition and creates variations of content and interpretation – pictures about the transience of beauty and identity loss, as well.
