HI ALTITUDE 2019 21


 

a memory of the future 

and a precognition of the prehistoric




Painting, that re-connects the wired digital brain with geographical distant features, locations and rituals. Who would deny, that the genome editing process, abandoned bombing test sites or the astronauts space capsule are not so different from the fire and its shadows inside the prehistoric cave.

NEW MEXICAN TRAVELS



a photographic research as artist book and diary into the vast expansive landscape of New Mexico, USA, made possible during residence stay  
at Santa Fe Art Institute in March / April 2013.

8 1/2" x 11" / 100 pages / 116 photos

While site-specific attempts were lingering in the back of my mind, recalling Nancy Holt, Robert Smithson and Bruce Nauman, I experienced a slow, but vast expansive landscape, full of contradictions and full of colonial and cultural clashes, that emptied my mind and my eyes from pre-conceptions, making me drive out into the unknown, while on stay. What I experienced was a mix of reservations, clinging to casino build resorts for income, the hispanic community living side by side of the old spanish settlers and their descendants, all reclaiming own territories and land, while some towns of the 60 ́s communities are driven to tourism and real estate sales. New Mexico is the state of the first atomic bomb explosion and of dry high altitude with mountains, valleys and resorts. Being on my own, I enjoyed a photographic research, that can be called an artists journey, discovering a vast expansive landscape.

While questions of intellectual property and the era of financial crisis melt with strategies of survival, a recent research is based on one photographic series, shot by the  Mars robot "Spirit", whose panoramic and fragmented images show empty and stony landscapes, sometimes in true color, sometimes in false colour and sometimes in 3-D in low- and high resolution (bridging an up to 320 Million km distance of data transmission). The records distributed by NASA question intellectual property, identity, science and narrativity in current global crisis of climate and finance. They open a new challenge of perception and abstraction, referencing Robert Smithson`s research of (mythical) landscape, fiction and industrial / archival spaces of the 60's. The project researches long distance data transmission of images. One Edition of 20 images of this research is printed as digital high resolution print 63 x 112 cm, and as BOOK, 84 pages, 51 photos, hardcover.

NY 92 / 12




A photographic BOOK of the LOWER EAST SIDE in 1992. 
 


BOOK  hardcover 
price: 60 € / including  VAT / Mwst / plus costs for shipping
78 pages, 100 photos, size:  21,59 x 27,94 cm /  8 1/2 " x 11"

ISBN 978-3-753106-05-2
 


Its almost 100 b/w silverchrome prints, show a (nearly) abandoned area of post punk time. The LES has become today a gentrified place of high income households, galleries and of media events. The photos don´t want to get sentimental about the pre - 9/11 time, but want to show a documentary vanishing mood, how life changes without a beatitude attitude. No text has been added, to let the photos and the moments encountered speak for themselves.
