Coming closer to the meaning of IngridMwangiRobertHutter, I refer to my double self in first person singular. The “I” that I mention encompasses two bodies, two minds, two histories and creative trajectories. I perceive of my different parts as being interconnected, in constant exchange and dialog. Every person experiences the self as having several parts that are in communication: an emotional side that interacts with the intellectual side, the mind that tries to lead the body, while the body sets limits to the workings of the mind, consciousness versus impulsive nature, etc. It suggests itself to realize a similar unification of one masculine and one feminine corporeality, fusing two consciousnesses influenced by different experiences. Making this complex personality visible is what IngridMwangiRobertHutter is about. It is an artistic concept as well a life concept to realize and manifest the self of shared vision. Working with new media, my focus lies in developing a body of artwork that revolves around conditions of human existence and the difficult questions of how to deal with the violence, injustice and suffering in our world. The use of both my bodies and the media reflection of these are central in generating imagery relating to these themes.
