Peeter Linnap, CEO of “Factory of History”

– a trick with two mirrors and four reflections

First, let’s take a quick look at Johannes Pääsuke’s (1892–1918) “Self portrait” from 1914 (?). This is one of the most iconic pictures in the history of Estonian photography – Johannes Pääsuke’s panoramic self-portrait, a trick image with two mirrors and four reflections. We’ll come back to this later.
And now to the main subject of this short presentation – Peeter Linnap, one of the most outstanding conceptual photo artists in newly independent Estonia back in the 1990s.
