Memories 2

In the project UX I combine images that I save on my external hard drives from different contexts. Images that have become my digital memory. A memory which I like to rely on during the work process. I search in it the way I search in my own memories. The recombining of various images is a central element of some of my works. Which motif interacts with another, and through which form of activation two motifs can be woven with one another and hence into one, so that they enhance each other. Reach a plane that does not narrate the obvious, but turns the hidden, the disturbing, into an experience. Causes unrest, which allows the beholder to recognize, but not disambiguate, the unknown.

STOPSTOP

WHAT IF
In the series "WHAT IF?" the order of the existing series „Stops“ is broken. The pictures of the series are dismembered, demolished and remounted. The emerging spaces show a reality whose order of things is close to chaos. As if a whirlwind had swept over the images and rearranged the elements according to their own logic. The translucent paper at the cracks of some images, reinforces the fragmentary character of the work.

Landscape without stops

GUESS WHAT

A bus stop marks a point in a landscape. A landscape that would give no motive for a landscape image. The removal of the bus stop by ruler and scalpel takes the most significant. Removes the core of the image. Cuts it out. A block of white light is created. A block that compels the viewer to complement. An operation that does not succeed, because the white light wants to be his own phenomenon and the environment does not want to be replenished.
