The Painting
Series 2011
With my background in a painterly tradition, I
have always considered my photographs and videos
as still or moving paintings. In this new series,
I have approached painting in a more literal and
physical way, in regards to the production as
well as the end result. The images in this series
could be described as a documentation of a performance,
where the individuals participate in a painterly
process.
Just like the action painting
of artists such as Jackson Pollock or the monochrome
paintings by Yves Klein, the images are the direct
results of the painterly gesture. I set up a situation
where the paint flows and the individuals perform
an improvised choreography, surrounded by paint.
The images are staged, but they have not been
digitally altered. The process is partially random,
the final result isn’t revealed until after
the images have been developed.
With their chromatic, abstract
eruptions, the images also refer to astronomical
constellations or organic structures, they are
simultaneously micro- and macrocosms.
