With the term artist complex the present volume poses new theoretical questions to the photographic image of the artist and inquires about the making of the artistic persona. The present articles examine photographic (self-)portraits, single or serial photographs, collages, the dynamics between self-statements of artists and photographers, representations of artworks, as well as the interrelations of photography, of painting and of performance art and investigate their origins in the history of ideas. At the same time, the volume traces a portrait of photography as a meta-science; as preparatory work, a source of inspiration, and an alternate medium in which artists could explore different subjects.
