Patternprint

Lines, layers, surfaces, comparable to geological formations, diagrams, typographic systems or scores.

Both the book and the large prints are based on collages that were created between 2017 and 2019. The starting materials are magazines in standard format that have been cut vertically. Based on the technique of classic film editing, a conscious cut was made here “before” the action: Individual characteristics, action, writing, characters and content information were consistently left out.

In the creation process of the horizontal montage, the individual supposedly neutral elements enter into an unforeseeable interaction. From the trivial layering of individual layers, aesthetically charged conglomerates emerge, independent atmospheres or systems form, which simulate a kind of "legibility" or rhythm to the viewer.

The processing via the reproductive path is coherent with the original medium.
