Lucy in the Sky by Peter Malutzki

Peter Malutzki: "Images from the internet of girls taking photographs of themselves with their cell phones, mostly in front of a mirror. The images were made up in Photoshop, using the color separation process (adding some 19th century ornamental forms), and afterwards printed with polymer plates in letterpress (4 plates for each picture). Most of the images are printed several times using interchanged colors. The added text quotations come from the Beatles song Lucy in the sky with diamonds. The form and smallness of the book are a reference to the omnipresent mobil devices."

Harvard.edu Blog (08.15.2014): "Book artist Peter Malutzki became interested with 'selfies' and especially the way young women posed themselves for display on the Internet. He reused images found online to create a book about fantasy and self-representation, Lucy in the Sky; Big Brother is Watching You. Superimposed are the words from the Beatles’ song, Lucy in the Sky, a text he found a fitting juxtaposition to the self-presentation of these pictures."
