For a couple of years I had photographed my own family as a revenge for things that had happened in my childhood. My hate towards my parents was enormous this period. I photographed my parents as dead corps and exhibited in art gallerys. Around the time I made this picture I had enormous struggles with guilt and self hate for what I had done to my parents. It felt like a war raging in my own head. I got this image in my head that looked like an old battlefield painting with 200 versions of me fighting against each other. I made a plastic mask of my own face and spent a summer mass producing it and painting it and finally gathered 200 people to fight in a field. The end result is a version of how my mental health was at the time. Turmoil, chaos and violence.
