SIMILI-FLEX.: 'KOMM.HEIM.2' Photograph

QUO VADIS - CONTINUED... Where are we going too - where are we coming from? The architectonic space in which we define ourselves, delimit ourselves and organize ourselves is for many years what paid attention to. The ‘SIMILIS’, which means ‘similar’ in Latin and also ‘related’ for me, have accompanied me in many work groups, I put fragments of a place or form in differing states. Positive and negative thereby offer me possibilities of perception and depiction. COMING - GOING - STANDING I create light-filled photographs of “word pictures” from words of our movement and processes them on the computer. These I named SIMILI-POESIS. This work complex is carried further by color fields freely painted on handmade paper, into which cutout letters are inserted. Which are photograped with their shadows and once again develops on the computer complex picture forms reminiscent of the mirror images in Rorschach blots: SIMILI-FLEX and SIMILI-SUPER-FLEX. I open up this flowing, this flexibility that lies hidden in everything into a new conceptual space beyond the mere information carried by script. "LOGOS IN CONCEPTUAL SPACE ... 'logos' is much more than 'word': the Greek term has many meanings that go beyond the one-dimensional English “word”. Logos means: to speak, speech, meaning, and reason. Ina Holitzka plays with the kind of conceptual space that a word or sentence can fill out: for example, the “GEH DOCH” (JUST GO) used in several work groups can be perceived as encouraging, rejecting, cheering, or an order, all depending on the tone of voice. In a text, punctuation would provide the tone. Holitzka leaves it out, and uses solely upper-case letters. She thereby opens up a diversity of meaning that she regards as flowing. ..."
