Blackness is neither space nor emptyness. It can evoke all kinds of sensations, reaching from fear up to infinity. My starting point is a feeling of depth, searching for something which develops out of nothing. For something embracing, which distracts all thoughts and connects the inner with the outer.
‘Abysmal’, the lightless darkness of depth, uses the black plane as an ambivalent space between day and night, light and darkness and nature and civilisation. In this connection the significant urban ambience become the subject of the depiction. By emerging from an indefinite black space an inner image is being mediated.
The work defines “blackness as an image area and a stage and the shining artificial light as the force to this forth”. The play of a surreal atmosphere caused by the artificial lighting in the urban darkness is being performed. Its expression is located in a sought for intermediate world where one is unable to differentiate between reality and fiction. The quest for the regional correlation to the felt images turned into a quest for intermediate worlds, places that do and do not exist.
