The photographs in Careful, Icarus. are fragments and excerpts of video-stills and photographs presented in various formats. No photo-filters or other manipulation tools were used. The focus of the pieces lies within the colorfulness and abstractness so they evoke a painted like quality.

The subjects of the series are segments of volcanic lakes (New Zealand), details of the surface of a coal mine (Romania), and salt seas in the Camargue (France). Despite the pictures showing only abstract forms and colors at some parts there are still shadows or reflections of trees dimly visible. In order to enhance a painted like notion and haptic impression, the photographs are printed on a thick photo paper – Hannemühle paper.

Careful, Icarus. 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 my practice: the perception of space and time within the vastness of ruins or surroundings and nature.
