Ether

AETHER
Babel project space, Berlin

The question around which the work arises is: how would a landscape look like when the basic elements are not there, but just the force behind them? The ether is an ambiguous entity, which operates in between matter and its absence: It is said to make matter possible but it is not recognised as a physical element.
For the whole series of paintings I have combined two of the four colours, the ones which appears when chromatic aberrations are happening. These “errors” are generated by our own eyes when our perception is in extreme conditions. The "Ether Project" is therefore based on a set of colours which appears when we can hardly see.
