Author Description

Product Description Ted Hiebert’s experimental exploration of photography produces provocative serial images that contain layered references to the construction of identity. Rejecting the traditional lighting sources, Hiebert coats his own body in glow-in-the-dark paint and uses this self-generating luminescence to capture the figure on film. While his practice revolves around self-portraiture, Hiebert escapes any notion of narcissism through his acts of transformation which renders the artist anonymous. Hiebert’s work has been shown in solo exhibitions across Canada and group exhibitions internationally. This is the first monograph dedicated to his work.
