Wärmebilder / Heat images Photograph

When I was studying as a guest in St. Petersburg for six months, I asked myself whether and how it was possible to portray that city with its architecture and emotions using an objective reality. I decided in favour of questioning the inhabitants¬Ýand chose 12 different coloured drawing pencils as a medium with which to hold onto their emotions. The inhabitants judged their city subjectively, using colours as the expression of feelings. These colours create the warmth that they feel. The heat images give the city a space, as a place that is structured. Each heat image starts out from a question posed 80 times: «What colour do you associate with your city?» This is linked with a request to sketch the answer on a piece of white card. 80 answers, i.e. 80 cards with hatched lines in different colours, create a joint picture when overlapped and digitally processed: the additive colour combination creates an individual colour spectrum for each city and makes it possible to experience the sensually perceptible space visually. The heat images are evidence of an emotional identity that actually exists and is shared by this city’Äôs inhabitants.
