American artist and stage director ROBERT WILSONhas based this series of slowly shifting VIDEO PORTRAITS on old masters like Ingres and Solario.Lady Gaga's face and body metamorphose into the features of Mademoiselle Rivière, for example, in a video inspired by the famous portrait of Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1793-1807). Wilson also gives us a variation in eleven steps based on Andrea Solario's Head of John the Baptist on a charger (1507) in which the 16th century model and the transformed face of the pop star merge in and out of each other. - Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac
