Exhibition "Constructed Nature"
Changing landscapes in contemporary art
Opening on Saturday, 6 July 2024 at 5 pm
Doreen Becker (D), Jeannette Castioni (IS), Susanne Gabler (D), Michael Kutzner (D), Jana Rot (D), Susken Rosenthal (D), Ming YE (CN), Hyeonkyeong You (KR)
I am showing my new work "Susurri southwest". It was created during a working stay in Los Angeles from March to April 2024 and addresses our questionable treatment of nature as a result of our way of life. I captured the resulting ecological catastrophes in images that subtly point to the irretrievability of intact nature in the midst of these impressively beautiful landscapes. Each of these landscapes has lost the innocence with which it once offered us sustenance.
Susurris embedded in these landscapes offer to listen to the landcapes
concept:
We are overriding something of which we are a part - nature. To stretch its laws, we need machines - built - with materials - from resources. In constant supply or delivery of these, our supply is most strictly dependent on connections. Pipes aptly symbolise this reality.
And in a wonderfully captivating way, the Susurris absorb the resonances of the space around them and by listening to their openings they primarily offer a connection to themselves.
