Artist Christiane Peschek continued to work on the artist book from the project Invisibles during his micro-Residency at ‘ace. The project focused on the question of reality and imagination of the photographic image.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am searching for absence and imagination. In my current body of work “invisibles” I combine images that deal with physical, narrative or human absence. “Moments I’ve failed to capture” is the main motivation in this work. I try to create different ways of using photography as a commemoration system in reconstructing moments of my own life. I add abstract forms to leftover rooms and landscapes. I try to recreate a story by highlighting different spots in the image, that start to relate to each other. I use big white canvas, projection displays that asks for visibility and absence.
In another experiment I dealt with the transformation of the visual image in a somehow “imaginary” display. Through autobiographical texts I explore image production on moments, where I had no camera with me.
