Faux Kings

Fine Art Prints 

In the photo series FAUX KINGS, Bernd Eischeid uses his body as canvas for a queer interpratation of his newly discovered royal ancestry. Through the contemporary redition of historic portraits and representations Eischeid examines themes of personal origins and heritage.

As the author of his family history, he takes a clear stand: Karl Martell, celebrated by right-wing extremists as the saviour of the christian West, becomes a S&M poster boy. Or the saint patron of brewers Arnulf von Metz becomes a drunk clown with a halo made of beer cans.

Through the combination of different disciplines: costume design, make-up and meticulous research, he broadens hegemonic narratives of power with a personal, queer perspective.
