'A rose is a rose is a rose� (Gertrude Stein 1874-1946).
How is physicalness presented amidst global medial perceptions? STOPOVER concerns the observation and recording of the human view of physicalness, both of nature and humans, who are influenced by the visual rush of the environment. This is again evoked through fast medial pace of life, the common shortness of breath, and the impossibility of processing things that we have seen. Natural definitions and redefinitions of the accustomed and familiar alienation and estrangement through the personal experiences of the individual thus emerge. I call this process of formative medial impact �visual socialisation�. The rush of sites includes both visual stimulation and the (re)-questioning of personal identity.
I don�t simply show a flower as a flower but as a bombardment, through and by means of photography. The single work comes together anew as fragments, which have been torn apart and then stapled back together, as if the fitting marks do not fit anymore. Mutants, floral landscape images and bodily fantasies emerge.
The realistic brutality of the act of clasping with steel staples seems to be merged into composition, apparent randomness and mawkishness.
In addition the human bodies develop as intersections and overlays in the digital works. The viewer only becomes familiar through his skills of association, memory and reasoning. The following medial phenomena emerge: the spatialness of the bodily matter flattens, and the clarity of the definition is promoted to diversity, which causes the visual stimulus, and the bodies medially enclose themselves with equipment, filling themselves with electronics, which, in industrially winning Romanticism, let them thrive on. e z genthe 04/2003
