Photographs by Wiebke Kahn
As part of the Görlitz photo festival “Schauplätze”, the exhibition is open to visitors from 10.09. – 01.11.20 in the gallery of the Fotomuseum, Löbauer Straße 7, Görlitz, Tue to Sun from 12:00-16:00.
Mirage
Reflections – no matter what kind – have always had a fascinating and mysterious effect on me. That is why I often deal with this topic in my own artistic work.
Within the series “Mirage” intuition and rationality enter into a symbiotic relationship. I intentionally go in search of motifs, but I do not have a specific image in mind: I let myself drift, I am in “flow”, so to speak. Instinctively I know that the picture is there, I just have to find it.
The reflections interweave several image layers, which seemingly have no relation to each other. The visual language is surreal and enigmatic. People are only perceivable here as silhouettes or fragments. The viewer is almost challenged to risk more than a fleeting glance at the pictures in order to deal with their content.
