ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The painting incorporates a scene from Essaouira (Morocco) into an Islamic geometric pattern. A very similar pattern can be found in the Alhambra in Andalusia. These patterns contain a strong symbolism. The pattern uses part which are multiplied and linked together. Only after this multiplication and linking process, the whole pattern becomes visible (for example, star shapes appear). It reminds us, that certain things can only be seen if also the surroundings and the context are taken into consideration. Furthermore, the pattern can be multiplied an indefinite number of times. It is an allegory for the world which we can perceive with our senses: It is only a tiny part and there is so much more which lies beyond our perception abilities.

Moritz Jäger (1983). Born and raised in the Swiss Alps in Arosa and Chur, Graubünden, Switzerland. Currently living in Zurich. I am primarily a painter. But some time ago, I began cutting the paintings before weaving them into each other. My work reflects on the thought patterns in which the human being perceives its surroundings. When we look at the world, we never see it in its entirety, we give more importance to certain details while blocking out others. Our perception is very selective and fragmented. But still, in our minds we build it up to a seemingly whole picture or narrative. What results is not the reality, but a wonderful image of reality, fragmented, but still perfectly accomplished in its own right. My work is an expression of this process.
