Snow+concrete. On display five sets of photographs
On display will be five sets of photographs from Biermann's snow+concrete series. Four polyptychs are printed on fused glass and one set consists of archival ink jet prints on aluminium di-bond. Biermann's constructed scenes show snow in an underground car park, ephemeral matter in the confines of a permanent concrete structure. As the snow melts, Biermann records this process of transformation with the photographic camera. His images highlight the preciousness of all things transient. It is the light and airy nature of the snow, the purity of the white and its ever changing shape and form. Biermann's enduring preoccupation is in fact to find a visual equivalent to the experiences of movement and mobility in time and in space, and ultimately, in society. A visual equivalent sophisticated enough to evoke the richness and concurrently the blurriness of fact versus fiction, metaphysical premises which can be precursors to deepeer transmutations. Exhibition opening in the presence of the artist on November 18 at 7 pm.
