Alter Ego<\/em> was published as the catalogue accompanying MODEM\u2019s exhibition of the same name in Debrecen (28 May \u2013 25 September 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title itself is mysterious and enigmatic, much like the inscriptions, fragments, quotations, incantations and palindromes\u2014often of foreign origin\u2014that appear in the artist\u2019s works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expression \u201calter ego\u201d literally refers to \u201cthe other self\u201d, evoking Arthur Rimbaud\u2019s famous statement: \u201cI is another\u201d (\u201cje est un autre\u201d). Lakner himself refers to this statement in connection with his conceptual series Self-Modellings<\/em>, in which he used himself as a model to simulate social and existential situations. Throughout his practice, including the works featured in this publication, he frequently models historical and social situations, evoking major figures from cultural history and history more broadly, and reinterpreting documents as large-scale object paintings. By tracing the writing of the Other, making it his own and internalising it, he rewrites the texts of postcards and manuscript pages in both the literal and figurative senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the catalogue, D\u00e1vid Feh\u00e9r\u2019s curatorial introduction provides an overview of the artist\u2019s career; Sarah Wilson focuses primarily on the connections between Lakner and new figurative tendencies; Eckhart Gillen examines the conceptual works and book works; and Thomas Hirsch discusses the phases of the artist\u2019s career in Germany after 1974.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
