Shifting Grounds
“Shifting Grounds” was the title of the Irish contribution, and so the beams under the sitting people always moved slightly.

Admittedly there are only rare occasions where conceptual photography does really work for me. All too often it leaves a fade taste in my mouth, I find it less interesting as the concept so much overshadows the images themselves. But this is not always the case, and I do well remember my fascination from probably…

Neon
In case you wonder: the image was created reversed, and the idea to mirror it again to make the letter-mess readable I’ve immediately rejected: the impression of a neon tangle would have been lost.
Illusion Room II
Again I’ve added a picture to an older post, “Illusion Room”, so maybe you just scroll down and have a look. The reason is that my time here in Harare is filled to the brim with official and semi-official activities, not allowing to reserve an hour for concentrated posting and replying. Bear with me, tomorrow…

Please note that I’ve added an image to each of the two last posts, too. Maybe you want to have a look.

Playing With Space
Light Scribe
A dark room, where lasers wrote in light rays place names on all surfaces, while loud music kind of detached the visitors from the surroundings – phantastic!
Justinian’s Heritage
The opening topic of the 2012 Biennnale was “common ground”, and so the copper cube featured latin words taken from the institutio iustinianis, one of the first definitions of public trust ressources. This idea has certainly resonated well in Europe, where fragments of rural “Allmende”, common lands, still can be found in some places. One…
Exhibition Opening
This evening we had the opening of our group exhibition in the former fire brigade’s building. A good crowd was there to hear only short speeches and to enjoy the images and conversations with us photographers. I am proud to say that the “forcole” were well recognized. Of course the large size of the prints…
