exogamy #2/2t print, originally uploaded by Mike Marcus.

February the 12th sees the first print release from the new Exogamy #2 series

The image features a triptych of intersexual hybrid figures, each a digital "genetic" synthesis of my own self portrait with that of a woman who I encountered in my daily life. In this case, I met each of the donor females via a different internet social network.

There will be an accompanying release of 33 unique large format public works, one placed in each of the London boroughs. This is indicative of a new direction for me, marrying my 'street art' and 'fine art photography' careers into one unified practice.

The edition consists of 85 20x16 inch silver gelatine photographs (plus 4 selenium toned Artist proofs) on 300gsm fibre based semigloss paper. Each piece is individually hand printed by myself in the darkroom from a digital internegative. The edition size is intentionally large in order to keep the price low and enable ordinary people to afford to purchase a print during the current economic climate.
