PUNCTUM
2024
Oil on Paper / Painting & drawing
researching and reversing the process of silkscreen printing in various techniques and
sequences lead to this series for now called punctum. (Heile Welt-Perfect World)
Working with a self built image archive of nature and forests, I manipulated photographic
footages in order to use it as a canvas for painting. We see printing templates on thick and
thin cotton paper, commonly known dots per inch on paper or film print outs for the first step
of processing silkscreen printing. Which is customary to this particular printing method, and
cleary visible when looked at closey.
I combined all this with drawing and oil painting, a foundation in contrast to the logic
of social mechanisms and the perception of images. Through that process of experimenting
and putting chaos into a usually strict orderly procedure of silkscreen printing, I try to change it
by somewhat putting it upside down, to look for chains
of associations and projections, somewhat to a non-fictional story, orchestrate a fictional story.
Sometime it seems like a perfect world, where nature is in tact and colorful birds and animals
hopping around, side by side with cruelty and barbarism it seems.
Trying to change a chain reaction to the extension to look at the world differently, open
to interpertations, but mainly putting beauty into chaos of an traditional art form.
