Selbstbildnis als Loch

Dieter Roth chocolate artwork Self-Portrait, 1969, featuring a textured circular form on green hardboard, exploring decay and impermanence.

Chocolate on hardboard. Hand-signed, dated, and numbered on the back. Catalogue raisonné Dobke, No. 111. Produced by Emil Schult, Düsseldorf. Each multiple is unique. Contribution to "Artist's Mail" Dieter Roth’s Self-Portrait (1969) is a highly unconventional artwork made of chocolate on hardboard, exemplifying his experimental approach to materials and self-representation. The piece features a textured, organic surface with a circular, decaying form against a green background, emphasizing the transient and ephemeral nature of the medium. By using chocolate—a material prone to transformation and decomposition—Roth challenges traditional notions of permanence in art, integrating themes of decay, self-identity, and time. Each of the 100 pieces in this edition, produced by Emil Schult for Artist’s Mail, is unique, reinforcing the individuality and unpredictability of the material. Documented in Dobke, Catalogue Raisonné, this work is a testament to Roth’s radical innovations in conceptual and process-based art.

What is Uncanny?

The Uncanny is a concept described by psychologist Sigmund Freud as the eerie or unsettling feeling that arises when something familiar is presented in a strange or unfamiliar way. Surrealist artists, who aimed to reveal the subconscious and merge it with reality, often utilized this concept by combining familiar objects in unexpected and bizarre ways. This approach created a sense of discomfort or unease, challenging the viewer's perception of reality.
