Christian Edler’s self-portraits hint at an inner conflict brewing within the artist’s psyche. Edler uses his own likeness for surrealist visual experiments, painting himself with various mutations that explore the battles we have with ourselves. In one work, Edler’s face multiplies over and over, creating a web of mouths, fingers, and eye sockets that seems bent on destroying itself. In another piece, he collapses face down in resignation, his face cracking like a ceramic vase. Other works are more hopeful, however, like the one where he cuts himself loose from puppet strings and heads towards a new destiny.

What would be really remarkable is remaining healthy in a world in which one is essentially handed opportunities or manuals of self-sabotage, a world in which acts of histrionic self-destruction are, in many cases and in many ways, considered more extraordinary and more worthy of attention than keeping your head above the surface of the water, than living gently and quietly. Remarkable is enforcing clarity of mind when the world around you tells you that everything is complicated and nothing that is not so is worth anyone’s time. A memoir of a person who, in this era, made it to the age of thirty without being diagnosed with a psychological disorder or struggling with an addiction: now that would be remarkable.” (246)
