Karl Haendel

Karl Haendel visited twenty-four artists from the L.A. scene (Walead Beshty, Amanda Ross-Ho, Oscar Tuazon,) to photograph their dominant hand. He painstakingly crafted digital images incorporating two iterations of the dominant hand into a carefully choregraphed double portrait. Then he and his studio assistants drew the new unnatural pairs at a colossal, almost architectural scale. This publication is the sixth in a series of artist books dedicated to black and white portraits.
