“Black death and fertility” Codex Fejervary Mayer, sheet 37 Mictecacíhuatl and Mictlantecuhtli, the lady and lord of the underworld, decide on a dead man in the jaws of Tlaltecuhtli, the devourer of corpses and monster of the Earth. What does it all mean? The Mexican archeologist Eduardo Matos defined it many years ago:” Through death you get to life and life leads back to death. It is the vital cycle that takes place day by day, year after year.” Digitally enhanced on brown background by MM in February 2022. My recent modifications of this pictogram are too colorful to depict the gods of the underworld. When searching for a more conceptual representation I inverted the image to negative. Now the skulls are black. I applied subdued greys and blues to the figures, but maintained the striking red of the snake and blood on the teeth of the gods and the fangs of Tlaltecuhtli. Now the digital version emphasizes the fantastic imagination of the Tlacuilo and the awesome power of the ancient image. The 50 cm print comes in a limited edition of 9. Title, author and year of manufacture are included on the print. The print comes with a 1 cm white border. Made to order on archival cotton paper in 10 days plus shipping.

As an industrial photographer from Cologne, Germany, based since 1967 in Mexico City, I used my craft for decades to document scenes and subjects in sharp, detailed and well lit images. Back in the seventies, when simulating views of other planets, I was looking for a different perception of reality and found it with infrared color film. Today I enjoy a creative freedom similar to that of a painter. With the right combination of photograph and digital manipulation I can create images that are a tribute to imagination and beauty. Starting in 2019 I present on Saatchiart 15 collections as a synopsis of my photography, some digitally remastered and others digitally modified, for sale as archival inkjet prints in different sizes.
