Time Collapsing
Not everything you see is true.
The series time collapsing originated in our concepts of truth and reality. When asking for the truth, even in photography, the photographic equipment might not be of central importance, yet it is in this work - as the final picture is created in the camera alone. In these multiple exposures several representations of reality are banned on film one above the other. Various points in time collapse within each single negative and evolve into a new pictorial word– some of them smooth and gentle, others seething and tempestuous. Equal to an orchestra. Only together with composition, musical score and conductor the notes, the individual instruments unite to a new melody, a new and distinct acoustic pattern.
Dream worlds burst into existence, seduce us to stay, make us pause for a moment. They invite us to search for our long-lost yearnings, show us new perspectives to make them come true.
TIME COLLAPSING
2014/2015
Multiple exposures on 35mm film - Not everything seen is real.
The trilogy Time Collapsing | Lines Blurring |Truth Dawning resembles a dream sequence. Elements of perception are condensed, pictures emerge and dissolve at the same time. The photographs confront the viewer as they create a moment of new, untouched sensations and emotions. Urban and rural areas, time and place collapse, melt away in the eye of the beholder. Traces of the “real” blend, dreamlike visions delude - and yet the photographs show glimpses of reality.
In the first chapter Time Collapsing various points in time collapse within each single negative and evolve into a new pictorial word – some of them smooth and gentle, others seething and tempestuous. Time and place drench into each other, absorbing and distorting our concepts of reality. Heterogenic photographic fragments create new surprising contexts – dream worlds burst into existence.
The three parts of the trilogy all play with the same topic, but in variation. Regarding Lines Blurring the single exposures take place in different cities/countries. And within Truth Dawning, reality is drenched in unreal colours.
