JÖRG SASSE
2012-12-24Whether curtains, stairways, radiators, reflections in windows or unique lighting conditions – with an eye for detail Jörg Sasse reveals fragments of our everyday environment. Since the 1980s the artist has photographed seemingly plain everyday objects in private homes, public buildings and shop windows, unimpressive at first glance. Through unusual perspectives and detail, he transfers the preexisting composition into images with a distinct aesthetic quality. The transformation of a rather “simple” objects into a picture-worthy image as well as its form, shift the contextual meaning of the individual picture and their relation to each other.
For the current exhibition 38 Still Lifes from 1984 to 2012 are arranged and presented in four blocks. Through the use of databases the artist categorizes his works, thus being able to examine similarities and differences in order to subsequently compare various constellations to one another. The interaction of materials, shapes and colors reveal interrelations that any viewer can discover and formulate for themselves.
