In their series Beat and the Pulse, Jakob Lena Knebl & Thomas Hörl combine familiar Hollywood icons such as Frankenstein’s Monster with aesthetics from expressionist silent movies.
With this work Jakob Lena Knebl & Thomas Hörl are aiming to change the ways we have looked at beauty through the ages.
Also Frankenstein is the first popular icon who can be seen as the embodiment of construction of identities, but also the fear we have for 'the other'.
