AT.THE.END.OF.THE.CENTURY

He uses sandblasted glass for framing the accompanying texts. The milky gelatinous character of the texts interacts with the dissolving character of the photographs. The text refers to the impending turn of the millennium and the opaqueness of the transient existence between past and future… Reflection on the past and expectations of the future in an awareness of impending change of time.

V. Rattemeyer, R. Petzinger 2000

In the work… the developed photographic material is not printed on paper but on transparent film. This produces a new optical dimension and accelerates the action of the abstractive process (or should one say the dissolvent process) on the motif. A visual medium like photography, which normally functions in two dimensions, has been used to create a three-dimensional effect. The integration of the text in the work is operated in a similar manner. … The dot fills the empty space with two-dimensional material. Thus text and image complete each other to form a paraphrase of the impossibility of total apprehension and of the difficulty of communicating while surrounded by ever-present means of communication.
