False Mirrors

Galerie Markus Winter, Berlin

The exhibition shows pictures and objects in which traditional differentiations no longer interlock, or are purposely undermined. Distortion of the coordinate, deferrals or fuzz, as it was once evoked through anamorphotic funhouse mirrors, allow the visible to appear, much like insights into a universe with its own rules.

"I say for some, mirrors constitute a hieroglyph of truth in that they uncover everything what is presented to them, like the habit of truth which cannot remain hidden. Others, on the contrary, hold mirrors for a symbol of falsity because they so often show things other than they are." (Raphael Mirami, Ferrara, 1582) Mirrors reflect the accurate world or distort it to the realm of the unrecognizable. The same applies to a picture, and for all other copies and effigies, in which we assume an indexical relation to their reference. These types of images that, so to speak, emerged on their own, in earlier days, were to be considered in a context along with images created by humans. These, on one hand, suggested images of the exterior; or on the other, they referred to an inner world, the fantasy of the artist.

The exhibition False Mirrors shows pictures and objects in which such traditional differentiations no longer interlock, or are purposely undermined. Distortion of the coordinate, deferrals or fuzz, as it was once evoked through anamorphotic funhouse mirrors, allow the visible to appear, much like insights into a universe with its own rules. The "false mirrors" of contemporary artists can be crafted together from simple materials, but can also be generated completely at the computer. Yet to what the exhibited works relate, all by differentiation of materials, remains equally undetermined. The statement posited by the displayed works remains to be questioned in the same way as its reference. Photos appear like sculptures, and sculptures seem to follow standards and coordinates that are projected as in a second – incorrect? – level into a – true? – real space.
