Originally the file for “Anderwelt“ was named “Mystery”
a reference to the TV-series “X-Files” which I had watched with my
son a couple of times. Like “Evolution”, “Dream of the Fish” and
“Palaeobionics” this image grew out of a figure in the center of the
square image format, the most neutral of all possible formats. The
figures in this image move in all directions out of the square into
the space beyond the “visible” or they seem to come from there. It’s
like looking through a window into another world: “Other World”,
that’s not only the literal translation, but also the meaning of
“Anderwelt”. I don’t care, if I can find the titles I chose in a
dictionary or not. I do not actively search for new words, but
sometimes it just happens and then I do create them. The three images
mentioned are also examples of the fundamentally different outcome,
of the autonomous aesthetic character that can spring from one and
the same source in formal terms, showing that general ways of
characterizing them like “surreal” or “organic shapes” fail to pin
down these differences.
