Out of the door

About this submission

The motives of the photo series “Out of the door” are objects in galleries, regarded from the outside by the shop window. I go to different cities and roam across the “gallery quarters”; a journey to the artwork. This is pulled out with the camera from its environment, the art area. The point of view of the road is often not frontal, but for example laterally. This opinion mixes itself depending upon lighting conditions with road scenes in the form of reflections and reflections; the organization of the house front around the shop window creates a new framework for the work. With the admission begins the journey of the image of the work of art, which achieves its goal with an exhibition in another art area; and motive and exit for a renewed appropriation or journey to be simultaneous could.

Different aspects are for me interesting to explore . On the one hand appropriation art. One point is to represent the original artworks from a point of view for which they did not create, which is however nevertheless an everyday life component. Many humans throw when (randomly) passing only a volatile view into window of a gallery and don’t enter these. I conserve this view.

At present the topic copyright is discussed within all ranges of culture. My photos, although took up from the street, do not fall under freedom of panorama. Thus they are in certain way also a form of theft and piracy. A kidnapping from the market. The criterion to regard the pictures from the outside, not to enter the market place, not to participate in the market, can be interpreted as capitalism and/or art market criticism. Do I decorate with foreign property or is the photographic saving of my view the dominating characteristic of my work? This may judge everyone for itself.
