making of studio 2012

‘You made a portrait of Osama bin Laden. Why him, of all people?’
‘Until his death in 2011 Bin Laden was Public Enemy #1, but despite of that – or maybe because of it – we have very little footage of him. Three or four photographs on the Internet, that’s about it. Seemed like a proper assignment to me.’
‘The way you depicted him, it’s as if he is some kind of saint.’
‘Exactly. And yet it is a realistic portrait, based on just a handful of pictures. Isn’t that ironic?’
