Marion Üdema’s series FindFriends is based on her research of internet contact platforms where people display themselves more or less naked to arouse erotic desire in potential mating partners. Üdema restaged the photographs she had found on the internet. She contacted people through the online forums, visited them in their homes in Europe and the United States, and with a large-format camera photographed them in the same places, positions, and with the same ornamentations as in the original pictures.
