ECHOS DER ANGRENZUNG
:
An exhibition of works by Werner Richner (photography) und Pit Molling (sculpture) at Gallery Puzić, in Saarbrücken, Germany,
Opening - Tuesday 24 September, 2024.
Johannisstrasse 3A, 66111 Saarbrücken // duration of the exhibition: 24/9. - 20/10, 2024
. This short film presents a walk through the gallery on the day of the opening of the 2024 fall season - with two outstanding artists from the Saarland and the neighboring country Luxembourg, featuring transcendent masterpieces of the renowned photographer Werner Richner, as well as the hypermodern sculptures of the sculptor Pit Molling. (created with 3D printing technologies using polylactic acid).
The provocative constellation of this exhibition is about approaches of a special kind: natural landscape photographs meet sculptures created using artificial 3D printing. Natural and artificial approaches, however, are hardly separable in colors of time and form-binding, because there are astonishing parallels and connections. Time seems to freeze in the space of layers and counter-light (Gegenlicht). Designs frighten us a little. Is this an image, or a purely uncertain, invisible allegory, composed of different visibilities und indefinable materiality? How does lactic acid become a sculptural material?
Echoes could also be deciphered with regards to the two artists and their inherent differences in their understanding of “nature” and its content.
Film produced and edited by Johannes Birringer. Sound by Kat Macdonald.
