Martina Kaendler
In her artistic practice, Martina Kaendler pursues photographic, sculptural and performative approaches. In her photographic series, she examines assertions and transformations of perception, constellations of light and dark, space and illusionism. With models as artificial spaces, and with their scaling, she constantly expands her exploration of architecture and landscapes.
In the series “Transition” the focus is on mountains and glaciers, where processes take place that irreversibly change the landscape. The roots of this transformation are often concealed. Cracks, and rivulets, which widen into rivers, form within the ice masses. Under the surface, they perforate the whole and lead to massive abrupt events that become visible as a surprise. Darkness symbolizes that which is hidden.
The video “Can a Landscape” questions the irrevocable human influence on topographies from a different angle. It was taken on a train ride from Tokyo to Aomori, the camera facing east. The ambiguity of the words and scenes unfolds in many layers and opens up the discussion on contemporary issues, offering space to rethink our position on the diverse interdependencies of society, politics and nature.
