Status
Erik Niedling (*1973) dismantles the visable world and reassembles its components
according to his own perspective. His photo series changes our value system.
Niedling interprets the German forest as a lumber plantation. He transforms the
ideal world of great- grandparents that we know from black and white photos into a
vibrating beacon of light and shadow.
Erik Niedling's new series "Status" is about a place that promises eternity. This
promise is deceptive: in the rooms, storage depots and passageways of a museum,
things are turned upside down. Reconstruction has plunged the natural order of
centuries into complete dissarrangement. Statues are stacked together, pictures
lined-up, objects are wrapped and inlays are hidden. The construction site and the
artworks are caught in a bizarr proximity. A hint of misdoing lies in the air.
