In the Counter Skin project he takes the digit off the gallery wall and paints it straight onto the human body, so the number becomes a mark of one living person in one place. The photographs were made in Recklinghausen, a town in Germany's Ruhr, once the heart of its coal country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere the number sits on a turning shoulder against the skeleton of a pithead tower, flesh and industry side by side. The paint is thick and slightly cracked, the segments of the digit drawn exactly as on one of his LED counters, so the body briefly becomes a display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheet is a lambda print, offered as signed and numbered, as the description states; the photographs show the signature at the lower right and the number at the lower left, partly masked. The edition is given as 20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tatsuo Miyajima\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Counter Skin in Recklinghausen 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lambda print (chromogenic photograph)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as signed and numbered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 x 60 cm (17.7 x 23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unused, as new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as unused and in as-new condition, never framed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKept flat as a sheet since purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused, as new)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignature and edition are given as the description states them.
