"In this series I humbly aim at concepts of beauty, which is based on a complex of minimal differences between individual interpretations of beauty. I asked various photo-labs to make me a "beautiful" print out of an image, reminiscent of anonymous decorative landscape paintings, to explore the aesthetics of photo-labs, and to question the issues of seriality and multiplicity of a photographic image. In contrast to the process of production of new and new images, here the multiple unity is constituted by a series of minimal differences between the same image. Instead of endlessly repeating different images, I attempted to create difference by repeating the same image."—Tomas Werner, 2009.
