Sheet Films

Different possibilities to obtain 'blank film' constitute the principle for this series of photo sculptures. Six basal combinations of unexposed or overexposed and developed or undeveloped transparency and negative films in 4 x 5 inch format are translated into painted acrylic glass panes. None of them shows a recognizable image as the result of a light reflection on a photographic emulsion. Rather, in oversized enlargement, they present the specific forms, colors and materiality of analogue film as an object, offering ever fluctuating, ever present, yet fleeting perspectives and reflections, depending upon the viewers' movement in space.
