This page leads to three curatorial sections within the Space over Time series. Each section illuminates a different phase of artistic development – from the first experiment to site-specific condensation.
The division follows both a chronological and a content-related progression : A phase of playful experimentation is followed by a conscious deepening of the method and finally an atmospherically dense engagement with specific places.
What unites all works is the desire not to depict space and time, but to render them as fluid, visually perceptible transitions between structure, perception, and emotion.
Space over Time’s beginnings were characterized by playful curiosity and a spirit of technical exploration. Initial experiments with rotating objects – first during a winter vacation, later with custom-designed turntables and adapted electronics – opened up a new visual space. Step by step, the realization grew that the slit-scan technique could capture entirely new structures of space and time .
This phase includes series of works such as The Berliners , The Blues and The Reds . They mark the search for a unique visual language – raw, experimental, open to surprises.
In the second phase, the spectrum is deliberately expanded. New mechanical setups, complex mirror installations, and altered lighting enhance the expressive possibilities. The setups become more elaborate, the visual worlds denser, and initial exhibitions and sales give the artistic work a new direction.
The works of this period show a growing maturity – and a clearly noticeable deepening of the method. Series such as The Move , The Wishful Thinking , and The Coral Gables belong to this phase.
The third phase leads the developed visual language into a site-specific condensation . The series gathered here connect personal experiences with specific places: travels, exhibitions, encounters and conversations – including in Miami – become starting points for new works.
Miami Twice , The Way to Montauk , and The Garden bear atmospheric traces of these paths. They condense what has been achieved so far into an emotionally and formally intense expression of space and time – as an experience, not as an illustration.
