constructivism (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Light painting with architectural elements. Targeted multiple exposure of architectural elements, from which abstract images with a completely new aesthetics have emerged. Each of the pictures has its own character, although each time the same building was photographed.
These imaginary worlds remove the viewer from their commonly understood vantage points and take them into more surreal worlds. Because the subjects in these photos are so abstract and not immediately identifiable, the images go straight to the viewer’s imagination. They are made for a large-scale presentation.

The photos were taken with a little analog medium format camera ADOX Mess-Golf IV from 1952 on ADOX CHS 50 film.

The black & white film was scanned, digitally colored and retouched.

Only "0 -constructivism" is a montage by quadrupling of a single exposure. The other four pictures are multiple exposures directly on film.
AUTHOR
First camera with 10 (1974).
From 2000 digital and since about 2017 again increased analog with different camera models and formats. Since then always in search of the unseen, the undiscovered and the invisible. The attempt to decelerate and counteract the flood of digital images. Creation instead of documentation.
