While considering these panoramic views of various, not further located mountains,
there occurs a vagueness regarding their spatial concepts: Proximity, distance and
the volumes expanding forward or backward become ambivalent, pretty much as
the point of view and the vertical orientation do. This ambiguity results from
a rotated optical axis, mostly of 180 degrees, which is not that apparent at first glance,
combined with a pronounced clipping of the motives.
The distinct clipping, shaping stretched horizontal formats and releasing the image
from its local and spatial context, causes its increase, and thus renders it floating.
On another level these works challenge the trust in photographic images being valid
and clearly definite and at the same time challenge one’s faith in visual perception
being subject to a certain inertia as well as indeterminacy.
Yet just this indeterminacy doesn’t mean a handicap, but creates a welcome dither
