About The Artwork

Lucky Charms, Talismans and Amulets 2006-2018-talisman series ongoing In nearly all countries around the globe, car drivers hang objects from the mirror or decorate the dashboard below the windscreen with them. Respective objects frequently originate from the domestic environment. They often have to be seen in religious context. The different objects are supposed to protect the driver, act as general lucky charm or represent “tutelary spirits” and thus act as fetish. A mojo may also be an object that unleashes strong emotions or memories. Occasionally it is also a talisman, an object that has magical power to bring luck and protect from harm with. The charms kept in cars may be of most various materials, as evidenced by the numerous lucky charms I took photos of in different countries. They allow for various levels of contemplation and tell all kinds of stories about the people driving those cars. The individual objects’ poetry makes us clearly feel the power and magic.

However, this is an illusion because all is one world. I’m interested in different approaches towards life. That’s also why I work using various techniques and materials - one of them being photography. Frequently, the concept already exists before the works come into being. Although I’m also often involved with processes relating to several pictures and sculptures at the same time. Working in three dimensions: “objects to touch and look at” made from stone, alabaster, paper, papier-mâché, wood, everyday objects, things found, the random. Ever since I’ve been a child, travelling to foreign countries has been inspiration and drive. However, we can also travel to inner worlds and explore the unconscious. I like delving into my own depth and likewise be touched by current social topics. I delve into processes that find expression in picture sequences and series. I feel attracted by opposites. Frequently, this results in dyads or triptychs. Occasionally, decomposing things to little pieces may be an essential process because it allows for reassembling them in new order. However, the most significant ambition is diversity, awareness for the accidental occurrence, readiness for fortuity. An appreciation of resources and the reuse and recycling of objects and materials. --------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.gretaznojemsky.at; http://www.basis-wien.at/cgi-bin/f/77616
