With body exhibition. Made in Me artist “ironizes the industrial production of objects of mass consumption marked with a brand of origin. He emphasizes the uniqueness and inimitability of the image, the creation of which Uros Abram personified to the extreme possible extent, but at the same time he avoided the aura of artistry, the mythicization of creativity: the image of the body, even in my body, is only a product of optics combined with chemistry. He achieved this with a special kind of camera obscure. He made a black box in his mouth and literally turned his body into a photographic apparatus, which we call camera oralis. The traces of chance left by the process on a piece of photographic film become important components of the visual image."wrote Dr. Andrej Smrekar, who also presented the author and his work at the opening.

Z razstavo Telo. Made in Me umetnik “ironizira industrijsko proizvodnjo predmetov masovne potrošnje, označenih z znamko porekla. Poudarja enkratnost in neponovljivost podobe, katere stvarjenje je Uroš Abram poosebil do skrajne možne mere, a se je hkrati izognil avri umetniškosti, mitizacije ustvarjalnosti: podoba telesa je tudi v mojem telesu samo produkt optike v kombinaciji s kemijo. To je dosegel s posebne vrste camere obscure. Črno skrinjico je napravil v svojih ustih in svoje telo dobesedno spremenil v fotografski aparat, ki ga poimenujmo camera oralis. Sledovi slučajnosti, ki jih pušča postopek na koščku fotografskega filma, postanejo pomembne sestavine likovne podobe.” je zapisal dr. Andrej Smrekar, ki je avtorja in njegovo delo predstavil tudi na odprtju.
