Neurotic Exposures is a work consisting of 3 sequences and a total of 29 photographs, which in their entanglement and intermingling represent an exploration of the symbolic and the invisible. The different generations of mobile phones, the cables, books, pieces of clothing and other everyday objects that are not usually found next to each other are here related to one another within the images. Only the Ahnenpass (ancestor passport) - an identity document to prove pure Aryan descent, used in Germany between 1933-45 - remains immobile. The depicted objects that move through the depersonalised pictorial spaces refer as
Neurotic Exposures is a work consisting of 3 sequences and a total of 29 photographs, which in their entanglement and intermingling represent an exploration of the symbolic and the invisible. The different generations of mobile phones, the cables, books, pieces of clothing and other everyday objects that are not usually found next to each other are here related to one another within the images. Only the Ahnenpass (ancestor passport) - an identity document to prove pure Aryan descent, used in Germany between 1933-45 - remains immobile. The depicted objects that move through the depersonalised pictorial spaces refer as symbolic carriers to an absent virtual level whose order leans into the analogue space and mixes with the other objects to create new meanings. In the a-chronological arrangement and associative interweaving of the images, the work is a game of leaps, references and parallax, which leave the viewer in the dark as to whether the changes between the images were created by time, space or perspective. The only unifying features are the recurring objects and the general absence of what influences them and provokes their dynamics. What thus becomes present is invisible within the visible. The suggestive connection of the analog, digital and virtual within and outside of the pictures represents the effort to summon this absence, to think of the one inside the other, and to create a gab for this presence on the level of meaning.
