Portrait of the artist as a young man

 
Portrait of the artist as a young man - Innencover

This Portrait of the artist... has 41 pages and is divided into 6 chapters. In it, Böhm presents passport photos of himself that were made between 1994 and 1999, e.g. One Eye or Four Seasons. He only uses already existing materials.

Each page contains a passport photo and a subtitle 'Portrait of the arist...'. The large amount of photos is a further sign for Böhm addiction to passport photos, which can also be seen in Seven days of Bild.

Böhm's book hasn't much in common with the book by James Joyce beside the title, but it contains a bow to another artist. Diether Roth titled a bust of himself 'portait of the artist as Vogelfutter'.

This book is made in an edition of 10 copies around 1999/2000 and represented in the now missing Kleine Werkschau (little overview of works) with a passport photo (see below).
