This is a very interesting art exhibit. Using digital technology, graphic designer Hans Weishäupl has carefully reconstructed portraits of 13 dictators over the past 100 years. However, the photo montages, which measure 1.8 m x 2.3 m do not contain a single piece of original picture material, but are made of countless tiny, specially shot portraits of the citizens of the country the dictator ruled over.

This exhibit shows the thirteen dictators as they have never been seen before, close-up and vulnerable. The complex photo compositions, have been framed in a way that these leaders would never have tolerated themselves – without uniform, without autocratic gestures, without cheering crowds – just the pure face of their evil. Th pictures expose every tiny detail of their faces.

The portrait of Hitler is made up of 37 people. His nose belongs to an estate agent from Berlin, his upper lip is from a locksmiths in Dresden, and so on. Each wrinkle, each mole, each eyebrow was reconstructed to resemble the original. To view the pictures below larger, just click on the one you would like to see.
