Space and effect
The work changes in the room.
Size, distance and light determine how the picture is perceived – not as an isolated object, but as part of a situation. The photograph shown here conveys this relationship and gives an impression of how the work appears in dialog with its surroundings.
Further views then allow a closer look at the structure, details and composition.
Change of perspective
One of my most important sources of inspiration is trying to look at the world as if I were seeing it for the first time. I go outside my front door and try to consciously set aside any judgment or learned knowledge about my surroundings.
This state is almost impossible to maintain – and this is precisely where its value lies. Even the brief moment of not knowing opens up new perspectives and creates space for other forms of seeing. This experiment gives rise to works such as (K)EINE Insektensammlung.
Effect and scale
The collage The digitalization of nature? unfolds its presence through a close look. The works are small-format, deliberately restrained and demand proximity. Structure, material and subtle nuances only become visible when approaching.
The framing creates a self-contained pictorial space that can be read as an independent habitat. Organic finds and everyday fragments meet as equal elements. The surprising combinations create a field of tension in which nature, everyday fragments and art coexist.
Each work is framed dust-tight (anti-reflective museum glass) and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
The digitalization of nature? contains alder fruit, jay feathers, bumblebee wings, barberry, blue rain, the remains of palm seed capsules and other plant fragments. They are complemented by scraps of paper, metal and plastic as well as a chip card. The materials are arranged on watercolor paper and watercolored into a multi-layered structure.
Technical artifacts can now be found everywhere. Here, too, they have become part of the system. The chip card is firmly integrated into the idiosyncratic habitat without pushing itself to the fore. It is not commented on, but taken for granted.
New ringtones in the forest. At least that’s how it seems. The little creatures adapt, take their surroundings as they are and carry on. The collage plays with this shift between observing nature and human legacy without pinning it down or judging it.
The result is a quiet, slightly ironic image of a system that expands, integrates foreign elements and functions as a whole. A closed structure that hints at more than it explains.
