Honorable Mention
From “Picture Images”
DESCRIPTION
What is photography – the picture that you are holding in your hand, the image that you are looking at?When you are thinking of a chair, it is quite improbable that you are thinking of it from a worm’s-eye view. You have a so-called “canonical view” of it.
The group of works “Picture Images” has a look on the blank position of the canonical view of photography, changes the focus on the finite flat edges of pictures.
The group of works broaches the issue of the expected technical precision of the picture of which the image is detached in a sense of its reproducibility – think of Mitchell’s dichotomy of “picture” and “image” and the resulting aspects from it: “to picture”, “to image”, “to take a picture”, “to get a picture”, “to get the picture” …
The photographic images of photographs from different decades bring an imaginary archive to mind, strip layers of invisible but activatable images: floating migration lines of icons, indexes and symbols.
