series: "on nature"

A game between perception and the viewing habits - Ein Spiel mit der Wahrnehmung und den Sehgewohnheiten des Betrachters

 

Playing with lines - somewhere between photography and drawing.

Influenced by drawing, I also find inspiration for my photographic works in nature itself:  

I observe roots, branches, reeds and water and discover their shapes, their harmoniously interwoven structures, lines. These are the same patterns I look for in drawing: the line and the contrasts. In many of my drawings - especially in "blind drawing" - I try to reduce everything to a few lines and strokes to achieve a kind of a „shorthand of drawing", as I like to call it. 

The lines vary in width, direction and length, define shapes and figures, but also depict movement and emotion through their character and direction: horizontal lines, for example, indicate a sense of calm and peace. Vertical lines imply stability and diagonal lines, on the other hand, suggest movement and fluidity. 

The line is also present in my photographic work: in a game of reflection and inversion, I interpolate the templates and give them new forms, transforming them into new structures and compositions until I find a new harmony of lines and contrasts.

 

Roots and branches are to me the original basis of forms and shapes. I find amazing things in nature. And it is here, on my walks in nature, that I find peace.

Playing with lines - somewhere between photography and drawing
Influenced also by drawing, where I try to reduce everything to a few lines and strokes - a "shorthand of drawing", as I call it - I find lines and strokes in nature itself. I concentrate on harmoniously interwoven structures, lines, verticals and horizontals. I interpolate the templates in a game of mirroring and inversion. I give them new forms, change them and search for new structures and compositions. To me, roots and branches are the original basis of forms and shapes. I find amazing things there. Trees communicate with each other and they can heal. And it is here, during my walks in nature, that I find my peace.

A simple walk in the park and a new look at my environment. The familiar view of our surrounding, what we no longer consider around us is again visible and highlighted. Out of their context, if you look closely at things, they gain a new magic.

Klimainformationen für Ferienziele im Jahr 2050, 1992 - Siebdruck, Fotokopie, Plexiglas Ständer, 70 x 35 x 22cm

Wettbewerb Ökologie, AEG Nürnberg

 

Es handelt sich um eine kritische Adaption eines Druckerzeugnisses unserer hochmobilen Gesellschaft. Die Klimainformation für Ferienflieger einer hypothetischen Charterfluglinie unserer Tage wird rücksichtlos ins Jahr 2050 extrapoliert ohne dass Sie ihre Leichtfertigkeit einbüsst.

Der bearbeitete Prospekt (Siebdruck, Fotokopien, Filzstifte, Bindung, Plexiglasständer, Brett) trägt eine zynische Zeitstufe in sich, die entweder als Sensibilisierung der Erdbewohner gegenüber den natürlichen Ressourcen wirken kann, oder aber tatsächlich in 56 Jahren ohne Wenn und Aber touristischer Alltag sein wird.

Die Temperatur- und Wasserstandsberechnungen beruhen auf einer Veröffentlichung der Word Meteorological Organization of the United Nations, 1988.

Es ergeben sich neue Angebote für den Touristen. Hafenstädte werden nur als Tauchexkurisonen angeboten.

S/Zeitenwende, 1995  -  3-seitiges Buch (Schiefer, Kirschholz, Spiegel, Lederbindung, Metallschiene), 16x22,5x7,5cm, Gewicht: 4kg

Der Begriff der Seitenwende bezieht sich auf seine Handhabung.  Die einzelnen Seiten dieses Buches sind Chiffren für den Begriff der Zeit im Sinne von Evolution (Zeitenwende).  Erstens das Mineralreich: Entstehung, zweitens das Pflanzenreich:  Wachstum und drittens das Reich des Animalischen, dargestellt durch Spiegelglas, als Möglichkeit der Reflexion und Erkenntnis.

Wie spät ist es?, 1993  -  Glas mit Schriftgravur, 48x30cm

Thematisch setzt sich diese Arbeit mit dem Begriff der Zeit auseinander. In meinen Untersuchungen konnte ich feststellen, dass in den meisten Kultursprachen immer nach der Stunde gefragt wird. Der deutsche idiomatische Ausdruck weist auf den direkten Zeitablauf hin (Früh - Spät). Das bedeutet, die Zeit vergeht, und nicht wie in anderen Sprachen in Ihrer Zeitverständnis: die Zeit geht. Ich vermüte, dass die Frage "Wie spät ist es" ein indirektes, angstvolles Verständnis von Zeit beinhaltet.
