The show „Careful, Icarus.“ of vienna based video and sound artist Patrick Topitschnig proposes a formal inversion that inherently affects the delivery of content as shaped by its original medium. Following processes of extraction / expansion, works become material for other works: videos become material for generating photographs.

Reinventing different narratives other than the original, this selection addresses a range of interests elaborated throughout his practice: the perception of space and time within the vastness of ruins or surroundings and nature.

The photographs in „Careful, Icarus.“ are fragments and excerpts of video-stills and photographs presented in various format. The focus within these pieces lies within the colorfulness and abstractness so they evoke a painted like quality.
