The Fetish of Origin: On Images, Certainty, and the Crisis of Visual Trust:
In a time when images slip away, origin becomes fetish – not because it creates meaning, but because it promises orientation. The term is used here in the critical tradition of Marx, Benjamin, and Mitchell: as a symbol of cultural fixation on visibility, ownership, and authenticity, where interpretation, context, and resonance would be more appropriate. #images #blackandwhite #promptart #aiart #photoart #surrealart #surrealism #blackandwhitephotography #art #origins
🍊🍋 The exhibition is an invitation:
to stroll through the pictures - in the historic Orangerie Exten, where parts of my work are currently “on vacation”. Just like oranges and lemons need light and water,
so do pictures
need the gaze -
We have to water them,
in a figurative sense.
Like plants under glass -
, pictures ex machina
also need an artificial environment,
but human devotion.
Orangeries, it is said, are
“buildings for necessity and pleasure”
-
for the necessity of the oranges in winter
and for the pleasure of the people walking in them. #photoart #promptart #artwork #blackandwhite #surrealphotography #portraitart #surrealism #fairytail #orangerieexten @orangerieexten
