Katrin Paul
Black is the new theme of Katrin Paul. Her large-sized photographs, in which she is concerned with the presence of light in almost absolute blackness, indicates a change of direction within Katrin Paul’s artwork. Previously explored themes, the human being and the human portrait, have been temporarily set aside to pursue this new field of questioning.
The 5 black photographs presented seem to absorb the viewer and hold their gaze. A peculiar sense of fascination arises from this lightless black. But, as lightless as these photographs seem at first glance, after contemplation form becomes perceptible. This transition is the moment in which the light becomes visible. At the same time as the black photographs, Katrin Paul developed for the first time paper works (ink-books), in which absolute blackness, desire, penetration, light and time are her subject in question. This work, to be viewed playfully like an oversized flipbook, exudes a profound self-contained charm.
5 photographs (130x200cm), 5 books, 3 objects (10x15cm), 2006/2007
Opening Talk: April 14th, 17:00-18:00
Opening: April 14th, 18:00-20:00
