THORSTEN BRINKMANN´s photographic self-portraits are initiated by the things he finds: objects discarded by the civilisation, which he finds in bulk waste collections in the street, but also ordinary things like bottles, flower pots or shelves. Even his own body becomes an objet trouvè by the artist.

He pulls pieces of clothing he has found over his head, presses the delay-timer of his camera, runs toward a wall he has equally found, places a lamp shade, a pot or the cover of a tennis racket over his head and finds his pose. The results are unconventional.

His work so far has centred on the close relation between objects and people, always trying to evoke elements of painting in his sculptures or photos but the importance of the performance part is equally an important characteristic of his work.
