Adrian Sauer gathers in this exhibition two new groups of photographic
work as well as his first video work. Sauer therewith continues his
working approach of digital new composition of photography.
In his new works he especially deals with the construction of the thus
generated image worlds.The title 'Rohbau' (construction shell) can be
understood programmatically in several ways. A construction shell
constitutes the external appearance of a building or of a construction
whose inside hasn’t been completed or rather hasn’t been filled with
content yet.
Adrian Sauer shows different perspectives of a building in
construction and links its sculptural impression, the concurrence of
form and surface in a certain surrounding with the act of image
composition and abstraction. He puts a series of small-scale
experimental set-ups besides the 'classical' observation of the outside
world. Layers of Styrofoam ashlars in an unspecified surrounding take up
anew the sculptural aspects of architecture (models), but seem as well
to depict composition studies by the artist in his studio.
This step into his work environment serves also as basis for his video
projection 'Atelier'. In a precise filmic movement surfaces and objects
are sampled step by step and worked over in the same manner as the
photographs. In the movement of the images a room of artistic production
assembles one by one that has with its associated mythical idea not very
much in common. Packed photographs, heaps of paper, technical equipment.
Only the sunglasses left at the windowsill are evidence for the
presence/absence of the 'artist'. The working process itself remains
shut like the 'black box' of the computer and therewith as intangible as
the hybrid effect of his photographs.
The works can be seen until *06/21/2008* and we would be happy to
welcome you and your friends at the gallery for the opening or in the
course of the exhibition.
