Beschreibung
In general, it is presumed that painting preceded photography. Painters began to focus their eyes on something specific in a way that an echo in the iris was created and thereby seriously challenged our self-awareness. Following this line of thought it can be assumed that André Gutzwillers style of photography tries to take the way back. While we are looking at his photographs – their motif escapes us at times – a confrontation arises. It draws direct attention to the way in which we take a corrective action of our perception and thereby fulfils a technical as well as primar- ily abstract aesthetic purpose. The notions of colour, surface, material, perspective and light form the core of the Swiss photographer’s artwork. Keeping them in mind while admiring his photographs, we can observe that the world is made visible through his lens in a less traditional way. His aim is to challenge reality.
A redoubt of pixels – a decoration of structures – a volume of perspectives – a grating of layers – a cut of surfaces. New terms that could be coi- ned, new ways of perception that aim at deceiving us, and reflections which appear to us as an image of an image. It is the fine art of concealing a motif that gives rise to occasions which enable us to negotiate about unknown references. Coloured scars. Cubic parameters. Landscape-time warp. Volume of light.
