The Other Art Fair - Brooklyn

the nonexistent areas are of particular interest
open series, 2018 ongoing

The whole series is build-up like the story in a novel, where the reader receives more and more information about a place or a planet, the reader didn't know before. The images are points of a net, which create a metaphorical place of imagination. The issue is to create a photographic, mixed media installation that brings a new perspective about universal themes such as control, staging, surveillance, and value. The images of this series and their presentation form quote the complexity and diversity of photography as a media.

The series "Fell & Folie" (Fur & Foil) consists of 10 analog photographs. The series is an earlier study and it´s all about composition and the different visual qualities of material. I created three kinds of material groups: one with natural material, one with artificial and a group in between of them. A sort of natural but processed material like paper and cardboards. Working on this series was a major challenge, because I photographed all of them with a Hasselblad and a middle format Color film. Creating the whole series analog was, even on the technical side a very important process to understand and to learn more about photography as a media.
