Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

"Wireframe" is an ongoing project that developed out of my series "Utopia". In "Utopia" there is still a photographic representation, that I altered afterwards. The whole work is centered around the transformation of the image data into another visual representation (e.g. the box into the exploding orb) with the exact same image data. In fact, the images consist of the same material, simply our way to percieve it has changed. "Wireframe" tries to go a step further and uses the photographic representation in a vastly indirect way in form of rendered models of the original object. Still the approach is a photographic one. I try to comprehend the digital space in which the pictures were taken as an extension of the space that can be experienced physically. Still we somehow notice a change in our concept of materiality when it comes to the question of how this space can be experienced. Using the photographic method in order to open up this space allows us to factor out aspects of our perception and concentrate on similarities concerning alternative concepts of experience.
