Spiegel
by Grenzhaeuser, Nathalie; Völcker, Mathias
Description
"Spiegel" was an exhibition by Nathalie Grenzhaeuser and Mathias Völcker from the series "gemischtes Doppel" of the Oberfinanzdirektion Frankfurt. The title is both the motto and the reflection of their first joint exhibition.
(...) "The mirror is a topos. One person recognises himself/herself in the other as the other. Duplication and circulation are the mirror image of the inevitable, because the artist is always fatefully confronted with himself. In the photographs, what is seen becomes a phantasmagorical construction in real time. It is as if, as in Jean Cocteau's work, one would throw oneself into the mirror to discover one's own face in astonishment on the shores of another, distant world. There is a loneliness in the work of both artists that pushes the image into the distance: as if the one appeared in the metamorphosis of a walrus, as if the other were to transform itself from the mist of a fantasy into a (self-referential) animal power. ” (…).
Extract from the preface by Jean-Christophe Ammann.
