Experimentelles

The beauty of the lingering white is a photo project I begun to develop during an artist in residency in Salzburg in spring 2014. It is a part of a wider photographic research for my PhD artist research project at the University of Arts in Linz about the topic how to visualize timelessness through the colour white. I am fascinated by the idea that white could symbolize timelessness and try to experiment with my photographs to explore more about the different possibilities of its representation. My aim is to show how the objects disappear into the white, or how you can fill in the white and how this visualizes different personal perceptions of time and the absence of time influence the way I take the the photos. All the experiments and researches circle around ideas how to visualise timelessness and relating to topics about silence, space, death and emptiness. I try to answer questions for myself, how do we perceive time, as it is a subjective experience and how is it related to the topics mentioned. The interaction between snow, white outs and fog for instance in nature visually plays a big role in the experiments and the photography turns around snow landscapes through there whiteness I try to visualise my personal perceptions gained through my researches.
