Christopher is known as a bearer of Christ. The theme is about arrogance. He only wanted to respect the supreme power. Therefor he served the king, the emperor, the devil, respectively, and ended with Christ. Christopher is the exemplary servant who carries the wearer who bears everything.
A doppelganger can be seen as a second me. “I am your second self. The doppelganger is also called known as double-ego or alter ego. Encounter yourself through a doppelganger. German culture philosopher Peter Sloterdijk (1947) wrote about this in his books Spheres from 1998 and Globes from 1999. Sloterdijk writes about “divisors of soul space” such as angels, twins and doppelgänger.
Genius means your guardian spirit from birth to the Romans. “Daimonion” is an internalized guardian spirit from Socrates. An indication that the subject is in a world bordering on a near transcendence.
The doppelgänger has three aspects. It is an artistic motif. In addition, it is a psychological-psychiatric case. Finally, the doppelganger also appears as a fact in reality. In double-parenting, one person can represent another’s superego. An ideal self that is blindly followed by the other. When the doppelgänger disappears, the active life of the other character no longer has any meaning.
The doppelgänger motif often has an element of confusion. To obscure reality, and to affect human cognition. Thus it is a contribution to the demonstration of the unknowable chaos of existence.
Also in texts from Antiquity and the Renaissance the doppelganger appears. Sometimes as the cause of confusion and complications. It can have a comic effect as a result. In German Romanticism arts the doppelganger appears as an encounter with the self. This doppelganger arises from subjective idealism (Fichte, 1762-1814). This posed the problem of reality in the opposition I-world. Therefor this idealism culminated in the view that the world exists only as a representation of the ego. There is a clear connection with the dualistic sense of life of Romanticism. In Romanticism there is a desire to transcend the finite limits of the I to the irrational. The desire for what one is not but wishes to be.

Mezzetino, tuning his guitar while dressed in a Van Dyck civil war costume.
Mezzetino was a comedy character, based on Harlequin but with his own distinctive costume, who was introduced for the first time by the Théâtre italien de Paris actor Angelo Costantini on October 16, 1683. Constantini’s expressive face allowed him to portray the role without a mask, a tradition kept alive by all successive Mezzetinos. That novelty attracted Watteau, who featured Mezzetino in several of his works.

I depict the series La Fete Galante at a time when there is a lot of unrest in the world. Through the treatment of the theme, I express the wish for more respect, grace, courtesy and peace-lovingness, in small and large.

I depict the series La Fete Galante at a time when there is a lot of unrest in the world. Through the treatment of the theme, I express the wish for more respect, grace, courtesy and peace-lovingness, in small and large. By focusing on dance as art in movement and lightness of being and placing it in the spotlight, I try to visually push the darkness into the background. In reality, I actually increase the contrast, which creates drama and reveals the vulnerability of this cosplay コスプレ.

My collage artwork on light box, Family Constellation, 2021, was published at the end of May 2024 in the hundredth edition of the Netherlands’ Nobility book. The ‘Red Book’ was first published in 1903. The booklet provides an overview of the genealogies of all Dutch noble families.
