Public secrets
On a large picture consisting of ten panels, I have reworked the secret service documents concerning the socalled Profumo-affair. Many passages are blacked out, and I have made these parts colourful. In between are fragments of press photos. The faces of young women are those of actresses who played Christine Keeler in films and television series: Scandal (1988), the series "The Crown" and "The Trials of Christine Keeler" (2017). Stagings and pictorial evidence are balanced here with secrets and the tabloid press. Brushstrokes are on made on top, gestures of artist practice, showing another a layer of time.
