The three images „Kadath”, „Sarnath” and „Tekeli-li“,are based on
one and the same photo of a nano structure. Their marked differences,
most obvious concerning “Sarnath”, are not only based on color (the
photo being black and white), though without a doubt color plays a
key role defining the first impression they make. Different from
“Kadath” and Tekeli-li”, “Sarnath” is dominated by one color,
“yellow” and all in all its contrast range is smaller. Exactly
because of that it is able to show, to visualize a more complex set
of layers. Its looks like an x-ray of structures reminding one of
roses and bones, outlandish and fascinating at the same time. The
title “Sarnath” was taken from H.P. Lovecraft (“The Doom that came to
Sarnath”)
